Chop 50 g dried apricots.
You can soak them in 3 tablespoons rum or brandy beforehand, if you wish, but this is not essential.

Stage 5 - 5 min.
Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle, then spread all over with the remaining butter and sugar mixture.
Note: if your pastry comes with a sheet of cooking parchment, leave this under the pastry - it makes rolling out much easier.

Stand the rolls in the moulds on top of the butter mixture.
Stage 10 - 25 min.
Bake for around 25 minutes, watching for colouration.
Stage 11 - 3 min.
Remove from the oven and turn out immediately while still hot onto a sheet of cooking parchment.

Remarks
If you are not using a silicon mould, be sure to turn the rolls out as soon as you remove them from the oven, otherwise the caramel will harden and they will stick. They are then impossible to remove without breaking.
