Mini lemon millefeuilles
These dainty and delicious mini millefeuilles have layers of puff pastry filled with lemon confectioner's custard (pastry cream).
They are a bit tricky because they are quite fragile and do not keep well once assembled. But freshly made, they are a true delight.

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.

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.

30 min.
If not already done, prepare 200 g Lemon Confectioner's Custard.Stage 5
5 min.
Over a third of the pastry discs, pipe a dab of confectioner's custard using a forcing bag.Stage 6
5 min.
Lay a second disc on top...Stage 7
5 min.
...then another dab of custard.Stage 8
50 min.
...and top with a third disc.Stage 9

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