Ingredients
  • 1. Store-bought puff pastry
  • 2. Dried apricots, one whole per pastry. And 1/4 cup sugar.
  • 3. For the pastry cream - 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup sugar, a pinch of salt, 2 egg yolks, 1 3/4 tbps potato starch, a dash of vanilla extract
  • 4. For glazing: apricot jam. And some coarse sugar.

Directions
  1. 1. Thaw the puff pastry as per the package direction. Use a very sharp knife to cut your desired size/shape. Cover. Keep in fridge.
  2. 2. In a small pot, add sugar and water which should cover the dried apricots, bring to boil, lower the heat, simmer for 6 - 1o minutes or until soft and tender. Turn off the heat. Cover and sit for an hour. Drain. Halve the apricots.
  3. 3. Place the yolks in a bowl, set aside. In a small pot, combine the milk, sugar, salt and potato starch and bring to boil, stir constantly. Add 1/3 of hot mixture into the yolk and whisk immediately (tempering). Return the yolk mixture into the pot, stir, once simmer, turn the heat off. Add a dash of vanilla. Scrape the cream and push through into a strainer which has set over a bowl. Press a plastic wrap against the surface of the cream and let cool.
  4. 4. Pre-heat oven 370F. Sprinkle some coarse sugar on work table, lay a piece of pastry dough over, roll slightly flatten in its middle. Sugared-side up, spoon in (just walnut-size is enough) pastry cream, place two halved apricots. Bake until they're golden brown. About 15 minutes
  5. 5. When the pastries almost done, simmer the jam. Once the pastries come out from oven, immediately brush the jam all over.
