This is what you will need (makes two trays):
- 2 rolls of ready made puff pastry
- 200g canned apricot halves or fresh ones
- 100g marzipan
- 3 tbs. of milk
- 100g apricot jam
- 1 egg, whisked for brushing
- powdered sugar for dusting
Roll out ready made puff pastry dough and lay both pastry sheets on another. Dust with flour and press together dough sheets using a rolling pin. Cut out flours, or other shapes you prefer and lay on a parchment covered baking tray. Preheat oven to 180°C.
Grate marzipan. Put milk in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Add grated marzipan, remove from heat and stir until mass is smooth. Spread one teaspoon of marzipan mass in the middle of your cut out puff pastry dough. Drain canned apricots and lay one half on top of the spread marzipan. Repeat this until all ingredients are used up. Brush sides with whisked egg yolk, so it will have a nice color after baking. Bake in oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven. Bring apricot jam to a boil in a medium saucepan and add one teaspoon of jam over each baked apricot pastry. (Make sure each apricot is covered with jam.) Dust with powdered sugar and serve either warm or cold.
Enjoy!!
