You know those apricot pastries you get in coffee shops? Well these are just like them, except they’re crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle, instead of being a bit soggy all the way through.
These apricot pastries are SO GOOD and, what’s more, they only need four ingredients – you can make them in under 30 minutes. Breakfast, anyone?
Here’s how to make these delicious apricot pastries.
Ingredients
- One tin of ready rolled croissant dough
- 1 tin custard
- 1 tin apricot halves
- 1 egg, beaten
- (OPTIONAL: 1 tsp powdered sugar)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200C/390F (180C/355F fan). Divide the dough into six triangles.
Place a dessert spoon of custard into the middle of a triangle.
Put an apricot half on top, cut side down.
Fold the sharper points up to meet each other and pinch.
Fold the last point up and press together.
Repeat for every triangle.
Place on a greaseproof paper lined tray. Brush with the egg.
Bake for approx 12 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool.
If you like them a little sweeter, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Enjoy!
