How it's done

Pastry dough

Mix the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl. Add the butter and rub together using your hands to form an even, crumbly mixture. Pour in the water and mix quickly to form a soft dough; do not knead. Flatten the dough, cover and chill for approx. 30 mins.

Filling

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle (approx. 35 cm in diameter), place in the prepared tin. Prick the base firmly with a fork, chill for approx. 15 mins. Scatter the almonds over the pastry base, arrange the apricots on top so that they overlap.

Egg mixture

Whisk together the cream, eggs and sugar, pour over the apricots.

To bake

Approx. 45 mins. on the bottom shelf of an oven preheated to 220 °C. Take the flan out of the oven, allow to cool slightly, remove from the tin, dust with icing sugar, serve lukewarm or cold.
