Ingredients

  • 12 oz/350 g flour,

  • 4 oz/100 g sour cream,
  • 1 egg,
  • 2 tablespoons sugar,

Directions

Beat the butter with the sugar, then with egg.

2

Add the sour cream, vinegar, vanilla, lemon peel and mix well.

(The dough can be made the night before and refrigerated overnight.)

5

Divide the dough in two and roll each part into a round sheet.

6

Grease the cake pan, lay the first sheet in and bake.

When the dough has risen and has started to become a little crusty, lay the apricot halves, sprinkle with the 3 tablespoons sugar and cover with the second sheet.

Place again in the oven, at medium heat and bake until golden brown.

Let cool in the pan, then turn onto a plate and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
