Keep ready a 5-inch round lid or cut out a 5-inch cardboard circle. Line a baking tray with parchment (baking) paper. On a lightly floured cold surface, roll out the puff pastry dough into a 10x15-inch sheet. Starting from one corner cut six 5-inch circles. Place the circles on the prepared tray, cover and refrigerate for 20-25 minutes. Leaving 1-inch
edge, carefully cut out circles from three 5-inch circles to get three
rings. Now, pierce the three 5-inch circles a few times with a fork.
Brush the edges with the egg wash and place the rings on the circles,
to form three tart shells. With the back of a knife, press the ring
a few times to seal it with the base circle. Cover the tray and refrigerate
for 30 minutes. Variations:
Pastry: Do not pierce the sheets. Refrigerate and bake as directed
in the recipe. When ready to use, split the sheets into two layers
by slicing through the center with a serrated knife. Thus, you will
get twenty-four 4X3-inch rectangles. Fill as directed. |
