Steps:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk; stir until dissolved. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine 1 pound, 4 ounces flour, sugar, salt, cardamom, and 4 tablespoons butter; beat on low speed until butter is incorporated and the mixture resembles coarse meal, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the yeast-milk mixture; mix until dough just comes together. Add the eggs and yolk; mix until just combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overmix.
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface, making sure to include any loose bits left at the bottom of the bowl. Gently knead to form a smooth ball, about 30 seconds. Wrap well with plastic, and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Paddle remaining 3 1/2 sticks butter with 2 tablespoons flour. Form flour and butter mixture into a 12-by-10-inch rectangle on a sheet of plastic wrap. Refrigerate 15 minutes or up to 1 day. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to an 18-by-10-inch rectangle, a little over a 1/4 inch thick, keeping the corners as square as possible. Remove any excess flour with a dry pastry brush. Remove butter mixture from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature until it reaches the consistency of the dough. With a short side facing you, place butter mixture over 2/3 of the dough. Fold the unbuttered third over as you would a business letter, followed by the remaining third. This seals in the butter.
- Roll out dough again to an 18-by-10-inch rectangle, then fold dough into thirds as described above; refrigerate for 1 hour. This is the first of three turns. Repeat rolling and folding two more times, refrigerating for at least 1 hour between turns. To help you remember how many turns have been completed, mark the dough after each one: make one mark for the first turn, two for the second, and three for the third.
- Refrigerate dough, tightly wrapped in plastic, for at least 4 hours or overnight. Dough can also be frozen, tightly wrapped in plastic, for up to 2 weeks; before using, thaw the dough in the refrigerator overnight.

- Make the cream cheese filling. Using a food processor or an immersion blender, mix the cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, vanilla paste, all-purpose flour, grated lemon zest, and heavy cream. Mix for approximately 2 - 3 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Preheat the oven to 200 °C / 390 °F or if you are using a fan-assisted oven, preheat it to 180 °C / 350 °F.
- Always use cold puff pastry, straight from the fridge. Unwrap the rolled butter puff pastry and place it on a sheet of parchment paper. Cut the dough in half horizontally and sprinkle the bottom half of the dough with sugar. Place the upper half over the sprinkled half. Cut in six equal rectangles and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a fork, prick the dough all over, leaving out 1/2 cm or 1/4-inch edge. Gently press the dough down using the fork.
- Spread the cream cheese filling all over each puff pastry rectangle, leaving out the edges. Place two jarred and drained apricot halves on top of each pastry. Place in the preheated oven on the middle rack. Bake for 15 minutes at 200 °C / 390 °F or if you are using a fan-assisted oven, bake at 180 °C / 350 °F or until the puff pastry is flaky and the filling is creamy and baked. Remove from the oven and sprinkle two tablespoons of sugar all over the pastries. Place back in the oven, on the top rack, and switch the settings to low broil. Bake for 3 - 5 minutes or until the sugar caramelizes. Keep an eye on the pastries when they are on broil.
- Remove the baked apricot danish pastries from the oven. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool to room temperature. Serve for breakfast, brunch, snack, or dessert. Keep in a bag, at room temperature, for up to 2 days.
