Napoleon pastry

easy yet stunning pastry

Those days when store-bought frozen puff pastry did not exist in supermarkets in Iran, I always thought that making such a delicious pastry at home is strenuous work and a mission impossible. Who could believe it could be ready to melt in the mouth after an hour of work?

ingredients

• 1/2 pack of frozen puff pastry
• 1/2 cups of store-bought whipped cream
• confectionary sugar to dust

preparation

• lightly flour a surface
• place the thawed puff pastry squares on your surface
• cut each in half to make 2 long rectangles
• cover the baking tray with baking sheet
• place the cut puff pastry on the tray
• bake for 15-20 minutes in a 180°C oven or until the rectangles are puffed and baked through
• take them out
• let them cool
• once cooled off, trim the top layer of each rectangle
• set them aside
• pipe the whipped cream onto each rectangle and place it back at the top
• cover with confectionary sugar
• you can also break some of the puff pastry and scatter them on top of the cream and then dust with confectionary sugar
