Apricot Beignets & Thyme
Servings 4 servings
Equipment
- Cooking pan
- Baking pan
- Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 200 gram Apricots (you can also use dried apricots; these just need to be soaked 8 hours ahead)
- 500 ml Peach Juice (or sweet white wine, orange juice or just water)
- 4 gram Dried Yeast
- 130 gram Flour
- 200 ml Oat Milk
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- Some Thyme
- Powdered Sugar
Instructions
Preparations
- Make the dough by mixing the yeast, lukewarm milk and flour. Let it rise for 45 minutes.
- Cut the apricots in half and take out the seed.
Cooking
- Pour the juice in the cooking pot and bring this to a boil. Poach the apricots in the hot liquid with the thyme leaves. Poaching means the liquid is hot but not cooking (with big bubbles).
- Take the apricots out of the pot after 3 minutes and let them cool down. Take off the skin and sprinkle the apricots with some sugar.
Let's fry!
- Heat up your fryer to 180 degrees celsius or 360 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In the meanwhile, let the cooking liquid reduce until it has the looks of a syrup. To speed up the process, you could add some additional sugar to the cooking liquid. However, most of the time the juice contains enough sugar already.
- Cover the apricots completely with the flour mixture and fry until golden. This should take about 4 minutes.
Serving
- Serve with some powdered sugar and the syrup!
