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.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

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