Halloween puff pastries

Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry
• 3.5 oz apricot jam (100 g)
• 1 egg
• icing sugar

Materials

• Pumpkin stencil

Preparation

• Draw or print a Halloween pumpkin and cut it out to use as a stencil. Unroll your puff pastry, place the stencil on it, and cut around the outline.
• Beat the egg. With your finger, apply the egg wash around the contour of the pumpkin.
  
• Place a teaspoon of apricot jam in the center of your pumpkin and spread it out.
• Cut another pumpkin shape from the puff pastry, making sure to cut out the eyes and mouth this time. Place the cut pumpkin on top of the apricot jam to seal your pastry.
  
• Press the edges to seal them. Brush the top with beaten egg to give it a golden color, then lightly sprinkle with icing sugar.
• Repeat the process to make 5 Halloween puff pastries. Bake them in the oven for 20 minutes at 350°F.
  
• And there you have it, your Halloween puff pastries are ready!

Observations
