Fresh Apricot Clafouti
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2000

Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
4 eggs
1/3 cup lavender honey
1 vanilla bean, split in half
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon brandy
1 cup flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 pounds fresh apricots, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1/2 cup sugar
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Shaker confectioners' sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an oval oven-proof dish about
13 inches long, with the butter. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and honey. Scrape the vanilla
bean and add the pulp to the egg mixture. Stir in the butter, brandy and flour. Whisk in the milk
to form a smooth batter. In a mixing bowl, toss the apricots with the sugar. Place the apricots in
the oven-proof dish. Pour the batter over the apricots and place in the oven. Bake for 40 to 45
minutes or until the cake is sponge-like. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before
serving. Serve the clafouti warm with a scoop of the ice cream. Garnish with almonds and
confectioners' sugar.
