Meanwhile, in a large pouring vessel, whisk together the milk, the remaining sugar, vanilla, eggs, salt and flour.

Sprinkle with the sugar that was set aside, one tablespoon per dish, and evenly ladle the egg mixture over the fruit.
Quickly return to the oven and bake the individual dishes on a baking sheet for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the center is no longer runny and dishes are puffed up and golden brown. You will need to watch your oven as cooking times will vary depending on your oven.
