Ingredients
Scale
- Puff pastry (1 box

- Lemon curd (1 cup)
- Egg (1 large)
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the cold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into square or circular shapes to fit into a muffin tin.
- Gently place the pastry pieces into the muffin tin cups and press down gently.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with the lightly beaten egg for a golden finish.

- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and adding fresh berries on top if desired.
Notes
Make sure to keep the puff pastry cold until you’re ready to use it for optimal flakiness. Store-bought lemon curd saves time, but homemade can elevate the flavor!
