Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 piece Egg, fresh

  • 80 g Sugar, white

  • 1 bag Sugar, white

  • 1 teaspoon Lemon zest, fresh

  • 50 g Flour, Wheat, bread flour

  • 180 ml Sweet cream

  • 2 spoons Alcohol, Rum

  • pieces Apricot, raw

  • 15 g Butter, unsalted

  • 30 g Sugar, white

  • pieces Powdered sugar

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Generously grease a round baking dish (25 cm in diameter) with butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Be sure to grease and sugar the edges of the dish as well.

  2. Wash the apricots, dry them, and cut them in half. If desired, you can slice them further or leave them as halves. Arrange the apricots on the bottom of the baking dish. If you have sliced them, you can create a nice pattern.

  3. In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until frothy with regular and vanilla sugar. Add the lemon zest, then sift the flour into the mixture and stir until you get a smooth batter without lumps. Finally, mix in the heavy cream and rum.

  4. Pour the prepared batter over the apricots in the baking dish. Bake the clafoutis in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes. The dessert is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.

  5. Let the clafoutis cool slightly before serving, then dust it with powdered sugar and serve while still warm.
