OK, here we go:

 

A simple recipe which cannot fail!

 

Jam square

 

Needed for 1 cake:

 

Puff Pastry (4 frozen squares or 1 round one)

Apricot jam

1 egg

Flour

Roll the pastry on a surface which has been spread with flour. (If you have no rolling pin an empt bottle can serve as a rolling pin).

Put the pastry on the baking tray. Cut off the excess pastry so the pastry fits the tray perfectly. (You can also make several smaller cakes).

Cover the pastry with a thick layer of apricot jam. Stay away about 1 cm (1/2 inch) from the edge.

Pre-heat the oven on 225 degrees C.

Roll the rest of the pastry and turn it into strips of about 5mm (1/4 of an inch) in width. With those strips you can make a grid pattern above the jam.

Now you can fold the edges of the cake so the ends of the grid get nice and tight. You can now rub the pastry with a beaten egg, this will help the grid to stick to the bottom.

Place the cake in the oven for 15 minutes on 225 degrees C and then another 15 minutes on 150 degrees C until the pastry looks golden brown.

 

This is a real delicacy, and ever so simple to make.
