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. They are GOOD and what’s more, they only need four ingredients – you can make them in under 30 minutes. Breakfast, anyone?

I absolutely love these pastries and was devastated when John Lewis stopped doing them years ago in their coffee shop. M and S do them now but as a girl who loves cooking I will definitely be doing these and I love that they will be crispy…job for the weekend for brekkie! Thanks Emily!
Hi Emily Looks great! Could you tell me where I can buy the tinned croissant dough please (UK)
Hi, Thanks! I picked them the dough up in my local ASDA.
Oh wow – These are a brilliant idea for breakfast – Beat soggy toast any day! Thanks so much for linking up with #Bakeoftheweek – New linky will be open within the hour. Great to have you part of the gang x

I was searching for a custard danish recipe and this is the first one I stumbled across. I don’t think I need to look any further – these look absolutely delicious! The only downside is that I’m not making them today.
Thanks for sharing the recipe. :D
