Preparation

Step 1

Put the stick of butter in a deep casserole dish at least 9-by-9-inches in diameter and place in a cold oven. Heat the oven to 350 F.

Place apricots and their juices in a bowl and sprinkle lightly with sugar; set aside.

In another bowl, whisk together baking powder, flour and 1 cup sugar. Add milk and mix well. The mixture will be thin.

When the butter has melted and the oven is at 350 F, pour the batter all at once into the casserole, then pour the fruit and its juices into the center of the batter.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the batter is cooked and the top is golden brown.

Serve hot, warm or at room temperature. Great with ice cream.
