Cooking

Immediately honestly tell You that I'm not "friends" with puff pastry, simply put, I don't know how to cook it and prefer to buy ready-made. So, ready take out the dough out to thaw.

Meanwhile, make the custard. I decided to make the original cream of corn flour, brown sugar, eggs and milk.

In a bowl (saucepan) boil 200 ml milk and 80 g of brown sugar.

In a bowl mix whisk the egg yolks, 50 ml of milk and cornmeal.

Boiling milk carefully pour in the egg yolks, first in drops, then a trickle, so they just don't curdle.

Put the mixture on the fire, continuing to stir until the sauce thickens and bubbles.

And now the "trick" of adding saffron. In this little package is only 0.12, I put half on this portion. If you use SAFRAN more no spices, spices are not added, saffron doesn't like competition. If you don't have saffron, just add the vanilla to the cream.

Next, prepare the filling of apples, brown sugar and crushed almonds (I just rastolkli it with a rolling pin). If you have not used the cream, the saffron, then add the cinnamon in the filling.

Apple finely chop enough quarters on this portion. Add crushed almonds and brown sugar.

Thawed the dough a little roll along. I have the dough in the form of a roll, just do the test in the form of plates. Cut the dough into equal parts, I even used a ruler. I got 5 equal rectangles measuring 12 by 20 cm, of course, it does not matter.
