Foolproof moist apricots clafoutis

Apricot clafoutis is undoubtedly the perfect summer dessert. From June onwards, take advantage of ripe apricots to prepare this simple, economical and ever-popular dessert. Its melt-in-the-mouth texture is reminiscent of flan, and it takes just a few minutes to prepare: ideal when you want to treat yourself without spending hours in the kitchen.

The recipe is accessible to all. If you know how to make pancake batter, you’ll have no trouble making this clafoutis, which is simply apricots and a light pastry. It’s also the perfect dessert to take to a friend’s house, or to impress mother-in-law without the stress.

By the way, did you know that in reality, only cherry clafoutis can be called “clafoutis”? When other fruits are used, they should be called flognarde or flaugnarde. For example, the Corrèze blueberry flognarde is very famous. Yet the dough remains exactly the same, it’s just the fruit that changes.

But for the sake of simplicity and habit, we often continue to say apricot clafoutis, because everyone understands what dessert it is.

And if you love apricots, use them to make a crunchy crumble, a refreshing sorbet or a delicious homemade jam.

Ingredients 

NB: You can print out the recipe card below.

For a 35/22 / 5.5 cm (13/8.6/2 in ) rectangular gratin dish
2.6 L (91 oz) capacity

  • 5 eggs
  • 150 g sugar (5.3 oz)
  • 150 g flour ( 5.3 oz )
  • 75 g butter
  • 1/2 l ( 17.3 oz ) whole milk
  • 1 large vanilla pod or 2 packets of vanilla sugar
  • 1 kg ( 35.27 oz ) apricots 

Preparation steps :

Preheat oven to 180°C (fan oven).

Wash apricots, pat dry, then cut in half. Remove pits.

Butter a gratin dish and arrange the apricot halves tightly together, hollow side up. 

Split the vanilla pod in half and scrape out the seeds.

Melt the butter and allow to cool.

Break the eggs into a bowl, add the sugar and vanilla seeds.

Whip the mixture until frothy, without trying to triple its volume as you would for a sponge cake.

how to make an apricots clafoutis, step by step with illustrations

Add the sifted flour and whisk well to avoid lumps. 

Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.

Add the melted butter and mix well.

Gently pour the mixture over the apricots. The mumps will float to the surface.
Sprinkle with flaked almonds if desired.

Carefully move the mould and place in the oven.

Bake for 45 minutes, or a little longer depending on your oven.

Check for doneness by sticking the tip of a knife into the center: it should come out dry or slightly moist, with no trace of liquid dough.

At the end of cooking, if the top is too dark, place the drip pan on the last rack of the oven or cover the clafoutis with a sheet of greaseproof paper.

Baked apricots clafoutis

The clafoutis swells as it cooks, then sinks as it cools: this is perfectly normal.

Serve warm or cool completely. Allow to reach room temperature before placing in the fridge.

Unmold only when cool.

Apricot clafoutis is delicious either warm or cold – the choice is yours.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving.

INGREDIENTS
  

Pour un moule à gratin rectangulaire de 35/22 / 5,5 cm

d'une capacité de 2,6 L

  • 5 oeufs
  • 150 g sucre
  • 150 g farine
  • 75 g beurre
  • 1/2 l lait
  • 1 grosse gousse de vanille ou 2 sachets de sucre vanille
  • 1 kg abricots

PREPARATION

  • Préchauffer le four à 180°C en chaleur tournante.
  • Laver les abricots, les essuyer, puis les couper en deux. Retirer les noyaux.
  • Beurrer un moule à gratin et y disposer les oreillons d’abricots bien serrés, côté creux vers le haut.
  • Fendre la gousse de vanille en deux et gratter les graines.
  • Fondre le beurre et le laisser tiédir.
  • Casser les œufs dans un saladier, ajouter le sucre et les graines de vanille.
  • Fouetter l’ensemble jusqu’à obtenir un mélange mousseux, sans chercher à le faire tripler de volume comme pour une génoise.
  • Ajouter la farine tamisée et bien mélanger au fouet pour éviter les grumeaux.
  • Incorporer progressivement le lait tout en fouettant pour obtenir une pâte homogène.
  • Ajouter le beurre fondu et bien mélanger.
  • Verser doucement la préparation sur les abricots. Les oreillons vont remonter à la surface et flotter.
  • Saupoudrer éventuellement le dessus d’amandes effilées.
  • Déplacer délicatement le moule et enfourner.
  • Cuire pendant 45 minutes, ou un peu plus selon le four.
  • Vérifier la cuisson en plantant la pointe d’un couteau au centre : elle doit ressortir sèche ou légèrement humide, sans trace de pâte liquide.
  • En fin de cuisson, si le dessus colore trop, placer la lèchefrite sur la dernière grille du four ou recouvrir le clafoutis d’une feuille de papier sulfurisé.
  • Le clafoutis gonfle à la cuisson, puis redescend en refroidissant : c’est tout à fait normal.
  • Déguster tiède ou laisser refroidir complètement. Attendre qu'il soit à température ambiante avant de le placer au réfrigérateur.
  • Le démouler uniquement lorsqu'il est bien froid.
  • Le clafoutis aux abricots est délicieux tiède comme froid, à vous de choisir selon vos envies.
  • Vous pouvez le saupoudrer d'un voile de sucre glace. juste avant de servir.
