In a bowl, beat the egg with the sugar and apricot jam until creamy. Sift the flour and in another bowl, combine it with the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Heat the butter until liquid and stir in a teaspoon of white wine vinegar. Pour half of the milk into the sugar and egg mixture and mix well. Then stir in half of the flour mixture.

Pour the mixture into small ovenproof dishes, cover with aluminum foil, place in an oven preheated to 200°C (400°F), and bake for 45-60 minutes.
