Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 egg
- 2 egg yolks
- 4-5 tbs sugar
- 2/3 cup cream
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pack puff pastry
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients well in a bowl (except the pastry) and set in the fridge to rest for 20 minutes.
- Roll the pastry lengthwise and cover, put it in the fridge for 20 minutes to rest
- Cut the puff pastry into 12 even pieces, approximately 2 inches, and press each piece into a muffin tray.
- Spread it up the sides to the top.
- Once you have done the 12 pieces of dough, take the mixture you prepared earlier and fill each cup, not to the very top as they will rise.
- Place it in a 220C /425F oven for around 25 minutes until the pastry is crispy, and the tops have caramelized with black bits (those are the yummiest bits)
- Remove from the oven and let it rest a bit.
- Don’t be tempted to eat them straight away, they are hot.
- Enjoy, let me know how yours went.
- You can add cinnamon instead of vanilla or try a different flavor experiment.
