Homemade tartlets from puff pastry
Tartlets are almost a universal way to serve appetizers or salads. You can buy ready-made waffle baskets for tartlets, or you can make them yourself from puff pastry (yeast-free or yeast). There are many options for shaping such tartlets. Depending on the shape and size, puff pastry tartlets can be filled with various combinations of cottage cheese with smoked meats, shrimp, vegetables, or made tartlets with red caviar. In large tartlets, you can place any salad and serve it to guests in portions - we're sure everyone will like this option. Today we would like to present 3 options for forming tartlets from yeast-free puff pastry. The advantage of these tartlets is that they can be made in any size and shape that suits you. Another advantage is that homemade tartlets from puff pastry are indeed delicious; they do not get soggy like waffle ones. Be sure to try making them!
Ingredients
Show ingredients
- puff pastry, yeast-free - 450 g;
- chicken egg - 1 pc;
- sesame seeds - to taste;
- vegetable oil.
Preparation
- First, break and beat 1 egg. We will need it to brush the tartlet blanks so that the finished products have a beautiful golden color, but you can do without the egg; then the tartlets will just be a pleasant beige color.
- For the first option of puff pastry tartlets, you will need a muffin tin. Thaw the puff pastry so that it is easy to work with, and lightly roll it out. Cut the dough into squares approximately 10x10 cm.
- Grease the metal muffin tin with vegetable oil. Place the dough in the molds, allowing the corners to stick up. Brush the blanks with whipped egg.
- Bake puff pastry tartlets in the oven at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. The cooking time depends on the oven's power as well as on the size of the tartlets and the thickness of the dough.
- The tartlets have come out in a very interesting shape; they will be convenient to fill with any filling and will look original and festive on the table.
- For the second option, roll out the dough slightly again. Cut out 6 circles with a diameter of 8 cm, and then in the middle of three of the circles, cut out circles with a diameter of 4 cm.
- Place the circles with a hole inside the circles without holes. Brush the tops with whipped egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Right now, these tartlets look flat, and it seems like nothing can be put in them. But that is not the case. Bake the tartlets in the oven at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
- The tartlets have turned out very original. To make it easier to add filling, lightly press down the center with a spoon.
- And another option for making tartlets. Roll out the puff pastry thinner than the previous two times and cut out circles with a diameter of 8 cm.
- Grease the muffin tin with vegetable oil, place one circle in each mold, forming even edges; the dough should not protrude too much.
- Then cover the dough with small pieces of foil and place any weight on top - I use pearl barley, but you can use peas, beans, or special weights.
- Bake the tartlets in the oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil along with the weight. Homemade tartlets from puff pastry turn out neat and can be filled with any filling.
