How to make it
- 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. 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. 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. 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. When the pastries almost done, simmer the jam. Once the pastries come out from oven, immediately brush the jam all over.
