- 450 gr [1 lb] ripe apricots
- 150 gr [5 oz] plain flour
- 250 gr [1/2 lb] sugar
- 4 eggs
- 100 ml [3 fl oz] single cream

- 5 Tbspoons rum or liquor
- (unsalted) butter for dishes
- 1 pinch of salt
Recipe :
1- Pre-heat oven to 200°C / 400°F ; wash the apricots, cut them in halves and take pits off ; butter 6 to 8 pie dishes.
2- In an electric mixer (with blade), put the flour and sugar, and the pinch of salt ; while mixing, add the eggs on by one, then the milk, then the single cream, and finally the rum.
3- Lay the apricots halves evenly on the bottom of each dish ; pour over the batter.
4- Bake in oven for about 30 minutes ; serve warm.
TRICK : to verify if your custard is baked, push the point of a knife in the center of it ; if the blade comes out clean, the custards are ready...
You need to increase baking time if you use single large dish, and vice versa.
