Honeyed yoghurt flan

Cook My Dish is a new collaboration I recently joined. Until the end of the year, I will recreate dishes from lovely Silvie’s blog Citronelle and Cardamome on a monthly basis. And she will do the same with my dishes. So exciting, isn’t it? Today, I will present to you my take on her gluten-free…
