Elephant Ears with Pecan Filling recipe

In a Cretan zacharoplasteion (sweet shop), we were so intrigued by these coconut pastries (among the newer breed) that I tried them at home. You can expect the potato pastry to be a bit difficult to manipulate, and you can also anticipate compliments on the results. Attractive and tasty, not excessively sweet.

These buttery and flakey pastries made with flour, butter and cream cheese are filled with apricot jam, they are absolutely delightful to pop in the mouth.
