How to Make Apricot Clafouti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 3-cup shallow baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup whole milk, 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon cognac (optional), and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
  5. Arrange 1 1/2 cups fresh apricots, halved or quartered, in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the apricots.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the clafouti is golden brown and puffed, and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

  9. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
