Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 20 min.

Furnish tartlet circles with 300 g Yeast-based flaky dough (for croissants), spread thinly (maximum 2 mm), following these tips.

Stage 2

We don't throw anything away, just gather up your dough scraps and use them as Viennese fermented dough another time.

Stage 3

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Fill each pastry base with a layer of almond cream, using a piping bag if possible.

Stage 4 - 6 min.

Do this for all your funds.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

You can sprinkle a little powdered sugar over the top of the bases, which is supposed to help them develop in the oven (the almond cream will swell during baking).

Stage 6 - 15 min.

Bake for 10-15 minutes.

Stage 7 - 30 min.

Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar when cool.

Remarks

You can replace the almond cream with pistachio cream for a pistachio version.

Note that the proportions are very simple: you'll need 40g of dough and 40g of almond cream per mirliton.

Keeping

1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film.
