Clafouti Aux Abricots is a traditional French dessert that is easy to make and perfect for those who love sweet, fruity desserts. The dessert is made by arranging apricot halves in a buttered dish and pouring a batter of flour, sugar, eggs, cream, milk, rum, and salt over the fruit. Once baked, the dessert puffs up and turns golden brown. The dessert is often served warm and goes well with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. The dessert is easy to make and is a perfect dessert for any dinner party or potluck.
