Puffs with dried apricots
Necessary:
- a pack of puff pastry;
- egg;
- 200 grams of dried apricots;
- 3 tbsp. l Sahara;
- 1 tbsp. l vanilla sugar.
We prepare as follows:
- Thaw the dough in advance (2-3 hours before cooking begins to remove from the freezer) or use the microwave. We put on the "Defrost" mode for 2.5 minutes. Now you need to roll out the dough and cut it into rectangles.
- Rinse dried apricots under running water. Pour boiling water for ten minutes. Drain excess water, rinse dried apricots again.
- Put dried apricots on each rectangle. Sprinkle sugar and glue the edges.
- Break the egg into a bowl and then separate the protein from the yolk. Beat the whisk with whisk.
- Grease our puffs around the edges with protein so that they stick together better.
- Grease each puff with the remaining egg yolk. Sprinkle with vanilla sugar on top.
- Cook for half an hour in the microwave.
Serve hot with tea or coffee. Call your loved ones and friends to sit together in a cozy atmosphere. Treat them with puffs with dried apricots. We are sure that they will definitely like pastries!
Puff Meat Pies
What we need:

Cooking pies:
- Defrost puff pastry.
- Stuffing put in a bowl. There we add the chopped onion, egg, salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.
- Roll out the dough and divide into 10 parts. Grease them with egg white.

Microwave Baking Rules
To make your pastries perfect, you must adhere to some recommendations:
- Use tall dishes for baking, as the dough will rise. And much higher than in the oven.
- It is better not to sprinkle the form with flour and not grease it with oil. Just put parchment paper on its bottom.
- Baking in the microwave cooks quickly, but, unfortunately, can’t boast a golden brown. To correct this defect, hold almost finished products a couple of minutes in grill mode.
- When baking, never cover the pan with a lid.
- Before removing the product, hold it for another ten minutes in the microwave.
We hope you have taken our advice into account. Now you can definitely cook something from puff pastry in the best possible way.
Enjoy your meal!
