Caution: The ingredients should be at room temperature! Do not use straight from the refrigerator. Mix the dry yeast with the flour and salt. Mix the milk, butter, egg, egg yolk, and rum well. Also mix the sugar, vanilla sugar, and lemon zest together. Then mix everything together and knead the yeast dough until smooth. Let it rise in a warm water bath. Then cut off small pieces and flatten slightly. Fill with apricot jam and seal tightly. Briefly coat in oil or melted butter and layer in a baking dish. Place the dish in a preheated oven at 180°C and wait until the tops of the dough are nicely browned. For the vanilla sauce, caramelize the sugar, then pour in the milk. Stir in the vanilla pudding powder and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Whip the cream and fold it into the cooled mixture. Pour the vanilla sauce over the dough and serve immediately while hot.
