How to make Apricot and vanilla pastries

 Apricot and Vanilla Pastries

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredient

2 or 3 sheets puff pastry depending on size

18 apricot mums, if using frozen thaw completely and pat dry

About 1 cup vanilla pastry cream

1 egg, separated

Recipe

Make the vanilla pastry cream according to my recipe and chill it

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and have ready a baking sheet layered with parchment paper

Cut the puff pastry into rectangles of 5x5 inches (13 x 13 cm), layer a diagonal of about 3 tbsp. of vanilla pastry cream just large enough to make a pillow for the apricot mums, leave an empty space at each end, lay 3 apricot mums on top

Grab the opposite corners, brush them with egg white and stick them together, if you want to decorate the pastries with little hearts, also glue them with egg white, add a few drops of water to the yolks, stir and brush the whole pastry with egg wash

Into the oven for 18 to 20 minutes, start checking at 18, or until golden and puffed

Heat the honey just a few seconds into microwave and brush the top of apricot mums

Let cool completely into the baking sheet

Garnish:

2 tbsp. mildly flavored honey
