Name: Grilled Apricot Puffs With Honey Crème Fraîche
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup creme fraiche; 3 tablespoons honey; 2 large eggs; 6 tablespoons flour; 6 tablespoons milk; 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/2 to 3/4 cup packed brown sugar; 3/4 teaspoon dried culinary lavender; 9 apricots, halved and pitted; 1 tablespoon butter, cut into 6 pieces

Servings: persons

1
Heat grill to medium-low (350u00b0 to 400u00b0; if you'll be using a nonstick muffin pan, don't let grill go over 450u00b0). Stir together creme fraiche and honey in a bowl. Chill.
2
Whirl eggs, flour, milk, and salt in a food processor until smooth. Pour batter into a glass measuring cup.
3
Combine sugar (use 1/2 cup if fruit is very sweet, 3/4 cup if it's more tart) and lavender in a large cast-iron or other ovenproof frying pan and pat out evenly. Arrange apricots in sugar, cut side down.
4
Set a muffin pan on one side of cooking grate and set pan with fruit on other side; cook, grill lid down, 5 minutes. Put a piece of butter in each of 6 muffin cups, close lid, and cook until it starts to brown, 30 to 60 seconds. Pour batter into cups with butter, filling about halfway. Grill, lid down, until puffs are golden and syrup around apricots forms big, shiny bubbles and is deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
5
Loosen puffs from pan with a small metal spatula and set on plates; they'll sink a bit and form a depression. Turn fruit over in syrup, using a wide metal spoon. Fill puffs with some creme fraiche and an apricot and syrup. Spoon remaining apricots and syrup next to puffs, and serve warm with more creme fraiche and a lavender sprig if you like.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
