Instructions: In a bowl, using a whisk or electric mixer, beat egg yolks until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. In another bowl, stir together cornstarch, granulated sugar and flour. Add flour mixture to egg yolks and beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.

Pour milk into saucepan over medium heat and heat until small bubbles appear along edges of pan. Gradually add milk to egg mixture, whisking constantly. Pour mixture back into saucepan and place over low heat. Cook, stirring, until mixture thickens and bubbles around edges, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla, liqueur and butter. Fold in mascarpone.

Preheat broiler. Divide custard among 6 flameproof 4 inch gratin or tartlet dishes. Gently press berries into custard mixture, dividing evenly. Sprinkle tops with confectioners sugar. Slip under broiler 4 inches from heat source and broil until tops are golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.
