Step 1

First, prepare all the necessary ingredients for fragrant homemade apricot puff pastries.

Step 2

To make quick puff pastry, sift 350 grams (about 2¾ cups) of all-purpose flour into a large bowl.

Step 3

Pour 100 milliliters (about ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp) of ice-cold water into a glass, add ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (or 9% vinegar). Mix well.

Step 4

Grate 180 grams (about ¾ cup) of frozen butter on a coarse grater directly into the flour, then mix lightly.

Step 5

Pour the prepared water mixture into the bowl and stir until the ingredients come together.

Step 6

Gather the dough into a ball, place it in a plastic bag, and refrigerate (or freeze) it for 1 hour.

Step 7

After an hour, sprinkle the table with flour and roll out the dough into a rectangular sheet.

Step 8

Fold the sheet into three parts, roll it out slightly, and place it back into the bag - chill for 30 minutes.

Step 9

After 30 minutes, roll out the dough to a thickness of 0.5 cm, divide it into two parts, and place one of them back into the freezer.

Step 10

Roll out the other part to a thickness of 2 mm and cut it into even rectangular pieces.

Step 11

Make several cuts on each piece with a knife and place two apricot halves on top.

Step 12

Lightly brush the edges with water.
