Ingredients

• 130 g Fluid flour (type T45) (Sift before use)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven

   Turn on the oven to 180 °C and let it heat for about 10 minutes before starting the preparation.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 180°C

2. Mix the eggs and sugar

   In the bowl, beat the 3 eggs with the 130 g of white sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.

   Time: PT5M

3. Incorporate the melted butter

   Add the 50 g of warm melted butter to the egg‑sugar mixture and stir gently to homogenize.

   Time: PT2M

4. Add the flour

   Pour the 130 g of sifted fluid flour into the bowl and mix until no lumps remain.

   Time: PT3M

5. Thin with the milk

   Add the 333 ml of milk gradually in three portions, mixing well between each addition until you obtain a fluid batter, similar to crepe batter.

   Time: PT5M

6. Prepare the dish and arrange the apricots

   Generously butter the dish, cut the apricots in half, remove the pits and place them cut‑side up in the bottom of the dish.

   Time: PT5M

7. Season the apricots

   Sprinkle the apricot halves with the packet of vanilla sugar and 20 g of brown sugar to add flavor and a light caramelization.

   Time: PT2M

8. Pour the batter

   Gently pour the batter over the apricots, making sure to cover them without moving them.

   Time: PT2M

9. Add the brown sugar on top

   Scatter the remaining 10 g of brown sugar over the surface of the clafoutis to obtain a lightly golden crust.

   Time: PT1M

10. Bake the clafoutis

    Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes at 180 °C. Check doneness by inserting the tip of a knife: it should come out clean.
