Apricot Almond Flan (Flaugnarde)
🇫🇷 France · Limousin
Ingredients
- ½ tbsp unsalted butter, for greasing the dish
- 1 cup (250ml) milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (50g) sugar, plus 1 tbsp for sprinkling on top
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 cup (62.5g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 300g apricots, halved and pitted
- 2 tbsp shaved almonds
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Generously butter an 8-9 inch round pie dish or skillet.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
- Gradually whisk in the flour and salt until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Arrange the halved apricots in the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Pour the batter over the apricots and sprinkle with shaved almonds.
- Bake for 1 hour, until puffed and browned at the edges, with the center set but slightly jiggly.
- Transfer to a cooling rack; the flaugnarde will deflate and firm up as it cools.
- Serve warm or cool, cut into slices.
