Directions

  1. 1

    Warm the milk lukewarm. Add 75 g sugar and yeast in pieces and dissolve in it while stirring. Put 375 g flour, 1 pinch of salt and yeast mixture into a mixing bowl and work into a smooth dough with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes. Place the puff pastry slices next to each other and defrost. Place on top of each other and roll out into a square (20 x 20 cm) on a lightly floured work surface. Knead the yeast dough again and roll out into a square (35 x 35 cm) on a floured work surface. Place the puff pastry diagonally offset on the centre of the yeast dough.

  2. 2

    Whip the edges of the dough over the puff pastry. Turn over and roll out into a rectangle (approx. 20 x 30 cm). Fold the rectangle three times over each other. Roll out again (approx. 20 x 30 cm). Repeat the process twice. Wrap dough in foil and chill for about 1 hour. Grate the marzipan in a bowl. Stir in egg, butter and 1 tablespoon of flour. Roll out the puff pastry to a rectangle (36 x 48 cm) and cut into 12 squares (12 x 12 cm). Place on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper. Put a small blob of marzipan in the middle of each square and fold the corners towards the middle. Spread the rest of the marzipan in the middle. Mix egg yolk with cream and brush the edges of the dough with it. Bake the trays one after the other in a preheated oven (electric oven: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: stage 2) for 20-25 minutes. Remove and let cool on a cake rack.

Carve a small cross into the apricots, then blanch with hot water and rinse with cold water. Peel and quarter the apricots. Remove stone. Wash the strawberries, dab dry and cut in half. Heat jam and pass through a sieve. Fill Copenhageners with fruit and brush with jam. Finally sprinkle with sugar crystals
