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 0 kg 15 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.

Stage 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.

Stage 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.

Stage 4 - 30 min.

If not already done, prepare 1 lb + 5.1 oz 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 - 5 min.

Finish with a dusting of icing sugar.

Stage 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.
