Number Of Ingredients 4

Just-ripe apricots, halved and pitted
Creme fraiche
Freshly ground pepper
Cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • Fill each apricot half with a dollop of creme fraiche. Sprinkle with pepper and top with cilantro sprigs.

Tips:

  • To ensure the creaminess of the apricot filling, make sure the apricots are ripe and juicy. You can also add a teaspoon of cornstarch to the filling to thicken it up.
  • For a crispier biscuit, use frozen butter and grate it into the flour mixture. This will create small pockets of butter that will steam and rise in the oven.
  • To prevent the biscuits from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick baking sheet or spray the pan with cooking spray.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with additional apricot jam or whipped cream.

Apricot cream biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
