Apricot, Peach, Plum or Nectarine Flawn

With some flawn paste (No. 135) line a flawn ring in the following manner; Butter the ring, roll out the paste to an eighth of an inch in thickness, and lay it in the ring so that it has the same thickness throughout, pressing it against the sides to equalize it well. Cut off the paste a little above the height of the ring, and with this surface form a ridge, pinching it all around on top and outside. Divide some apricots in two, peel and dress them in a circle, one overlapping the other, inside the flawn; place the cracked and peeled kernels here and there among the fruit, bestrew with fine sugar and cook in a moderate oven; remove, unmold and brush over with a consistent syrup flavored with kirsch, then serve.

The apricots may be replaced by peaches, plums or nectarines, proceeding exactly the same.
