Step by step recipe

Step 1 - ⌛ 15 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

If not ready-rolled, roll out 150 g puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée) thinly, then cut out circles 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. A cutter is best for this.

Arrange the circles on a baking sheet and dust with icing sugar.

Step 2 - ⌛ 2 min.

Lay a sheet of cooking parchment on the pastry, then lay a second

baking sheet on top, to stop the pastry puffing up too much during cooking.

Step 3 - ⌛ 25 min.

Bake for about 25 minutes, until the discs are nicely browned (check by lifing the top baking sheet).

Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Step 4 - ⌛ 30 min.

If not already done, prepare 200 g lemon confectioner's custard.

Step 5 - ⌛ 5 min.

Over a third of the pastry discs, pipe a dab of confectioner's custard using a forcing bag.

Step 6 - ⌛ 5 min.

Lay a second disc on top...

Step 7 - ⌛ 5 min.

...then another dab of custard.

Step 8 - ⌛ 50 min.

...and top with a third disc.

Step 9 - ⌛ 5 min.

Finish with a dusting of icing sugar.

Step 10

Keep in the fridge until serving, but these should be eaten the day they are made.

Remarks

If you would prefer a slightly simpler version, use a vanilla-flavoured custard instead of the lemon.

To make different versions, simply use a different flavoured custard/cream filling, such as chantilly.

Keeping: A day at the most in the fridge.
