Stage 4 - 5 min.
Roll out 1 lb + 5.1 oz puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée) into a circle about 8 inches (20 cm) diameter.

When the tart has cooled, glaze the top of the tart if possible.

Remarks
Finishing the baking on a wire rack in stage 10 is not essential, but will give you the really crisp base that is often tricky to achieve with puff pastry.
Keeping: Should be eaten the same day.
