Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
puff pastry -- frozen
pastry cream
2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
pinch salt
vanilla bean -- split
5 egg yolk
1/3 cup cornstarch
Glaze

Roll out little circles of pastry leaving the two edges slightly thicker than
the sides. Sprinkle with sugar.
Cook the pastry cream ingredients until it boils and is thick. Cool.
Place a generous tablespoon or so of cream on the pastry dough and two apricot
halves so it looks like two egg yolks.
Bake in 350F oven for 35 minutes.
Brush pastry and apricots with a nice sweet apricot glaze. The baking takes the
sweetness out of the fresh apricots so you need this final step.
