Lemon Berry Tartlets – Puff In Addition To Stuff

About thirty years ago, I made puff pastry from scratch inward culinary school. It came out really, actually well, together with I haven’t made it since. Why? Because frozen puff pastry is then readily available, then consistently perfect, together with then slowly to piece of occupation with, that the idea of going through all the fourth dimension together with problem to brand my ain seems form of crazy.

Of course, that’s a wretched mental attitude for a cook, together with 1 I’ve been fighting against all these years equally I convince people that making your ain bread, dressings, cheese, crème fraiche, etc. is a worthwhile pursuit. So, eventually I volition present you lot how to brand puff pastry, together with hopefully somehow reconcile this obvious hypocrisy, but for now, nosotros defrost.

By the way, I realize that berry flavor is in all probability over where you lot live, but fresh California blackberries were yet but about a few weeks agone when I filmed this video, together with then I’m posting it anyway, seasonality locomote damned. This is actually virtually the technique for making lilliputian puff pastry tart shells anyway, together with I’m real confident you’ll figure out how to fill upward them.

Speaking of which, don’t limit your brainstorming to sugariness treats. These lovely lilliputian cups brand for a stellar base of operations for all kinds of savory bites. I’ve filled these amongst sautéed mushrooms, chicken salads, together with smoked salmon, but to advert a few. Regardless of what you lot fill upward them with, they volition locomote real good received. I promise you lot grade these a effort soon. Enjoy!
