APRICOT CLAFOUTI

This is a very light sponge top dessert. It is soooo easy and quick and it never fails; unlike some of my other sponge top desserts. Originally designed to be used with plums I find apricots is the yummiest!

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (425 -850 g) can apricot halves
1/2 cup self raising flour
1/4 cup caster sugar (I use normal sugar if I have no castor left)
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
90 g butter, melted

Steps:

  • Drain Apricots and place in dish (3 cup capacity) I find a shallow one works best for this dessert.
  • Melt butter in a pyrex jug in microwave.
  • Add milk and return to microwave and heat until mixture is warm (not too hot or else eggs will cook when you add them).
  • Add eggs to the warm milk and butter and stir vigorously.
  • Sift flour and sugar in bowl.
  • Make well in centre, gradually stir in combined butter,milk and eggs.
  • Spoon batter evenly between apricots.
  • Bake in moderate oven 180 C for 30minutes until firm and golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe apricots for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh apricots, you can use frozen or dried apricots. Just be sure to thaw the frozen apricots before using them.
  • You can also use other fruits in this recipe, such as peaches, plums, or cherries.
  • If you want a richer clafoutis, you can add a tablespoon of butter or cream to the batter.
  • Serve the clafoutis warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Apricot clafoutis is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh apricots, and it is also a good option for people who are looking for a gluten-free dessert.
