Puff pastry roll with apricots
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. If you enjoy this kind of baking, frozen fruit works too—but in summer it’s best to use fresh apricots. Cut the fruit for the roulade however you prefer: you can braise them lightly or keep the bright, fragrant taste. Depending on variety and ripeness, add sugar to taste. Aside from that, nothing is especially tricky—fresh, golden, fragrant pastries for tea or coffee, with family or friends. Worth remembering: serve cooled or slightly warm.
