Apricot Danish Pastries 杏桃丹麥酥(麵包)
Very shiny and beautiful apricot Danish pastries, with buttery, fluffy pastry. Filled with pastry cream and top with apricot. Lovely and delicious treat for any time that you can make at home.
This is my favourite Danish pastry, love the taste, the color and the look of the shiny dome apricot. With homemade pastry cream (you can search the recipe on my blog here), or you can use custard. Top with apricot or any fruit you like, the most important is put a glaze of apricot jam to make it shiny.
