I love these pastry called «  les Oranais » it’s name comes from « Oranie » in Algeria were they cultivated apricots. This is made of puff pastry, vanilla « crème pâtissière and apricots. It’s a simple pastry but very good if you like apricots. I loved them when I was a child and went to the Boulangerie before going to  catechism It was my favourite with pear and almond tartelette called   « Amandine aux poires »

Today, I will try to make some for the first time! Let see what it will be like… 

My Oranais are baked! I have added some apricot jam to glaze them to be shiny.

I used ready made puff pastry I made my « crème pâtissière »  put some in my squares three apricot and fold the past glaze with egg yolk bake for 20 mn /  180C      Leave them to cool glaze with apricot jam and icing sugar!

I will have one with my afternoon cup of tea!
