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.

Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 15 min.
Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
If not ready-rolled, roll out 2.6 oz 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.
