Ingredients

500 g very ripe apricots
4 eggs
2 sachets of vanilla sugar
130 g caster sugar
50 ml single cream
20 g butter
500 ml milk
50 g flour and 30 g cornflour
2 tbsp desiccated coconut

Method

Halve and stone the apricots. Fry them 10 min with the butter and vanilla sugar, until they release their juices and colour lightly.
Beat the eggs with the caster sugar until pale.
Add the cream, then the flour and cornflour sifted together.
Loosen gradually with the milk, until the batter is perfectly smooth.
Spread the apricots in a buttered or lined tin.
Pour the flan batter over them and scatter with desiccated coconut.
Bake 40 min at 180 °C (350 °F): it should be set and golden, with a slight wobble in the middle.
Let it cool COMPLETELY before turning out. Warm, a flan breaks; cold, it slices cleanly.
