Today I made Lemon Maids of Honor Tarts. There are many variations of Maids of Honor - this one is an easy variation and I'm all for easy!! I adapted a recipe that I found in my book Country Tea Parties by Maggie Stuckey. These were so yummy! A Puff Pastry Shell filled with Lemon Curd and an almond filling topped with sliced almonds and a dusting of powdered sugar! If you were hosting an Afternoon Tea and were pressed for time, this would be a great option! Let me show you how easy these are! First, let your puff pastry sit out and thaw 5-10 minutes before you start. Then unfold and cut out 9 circles using a round or scalloped cookie cutter . Place the puff pastry rounds in a Wilton Tart Pan, or a mini muffin pan, then add one teaspoon of the lemon curd. Stir the almond mixture together and add one tablespoon of it to cover the lemon curd. Finally, sprinkle the tops with some sliced almonds. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove the cooked tarts to a wire rack to cool, then sprinkle with a bit of powdered sugar if desired. After cutting out 9 circles from my sheet of puff pastry, I had some scraps left and I made some little Cinnamon Puffs with them! To make these, just twist the scraps into a pretty shape and sprinkle liberally with cinnamon sugar. Then bake until golden brown and the sugar has caramelized. These are so addictive! They disappear very quickly!! Lemon Maids of Honor 1 sheet Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry 3 large egg yolks 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup ground almonds 1 tbsp lemon zest 1 tbsp AP flour 2 tbsp cream 2 1/2 tsp prepared lemon curd 1/4 cup sliced almonds 1 tbsp powdered sugar if desired Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Thaw puff pastry according to package directions, then cut out as many circles of dough as you can and place them in a tart mold or mini muffin pan. Beat together 3 egg yolks, sugar, ground almonds, lemon zest and flour. Slowly add the cream and beat until mixture is smooth. Add 1/2 tsp lemon curd to each of the (I got 9) puff pastry cups. Next, add about 1 tbsp filling to each. Lastly, top each with a generous amount of sliced almonds. Bake around 20 minutes until filling is golden brown. (It took my oven 25 minutes). Remove cooked tarts to a wire rack to cool. When completely cooled dust with powdered sugar. Cinnamon Puffs Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using the leftover scraps from your puff pastry, slice it up into 2 inch pieces (no need to be exact). Then give each a little twist and place on a parchment covered baking pan. In a small bowl, mix about 1/4 cup sugar with 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Taking a couple at a time, place twists into cinnamon mixture and roll around until coated with mixture. Place back onto the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and the sugar has caramelized.
These almond tarts are thought to have originated in the royal kitchens at Hampton Court Palace. It is believed King Henry VIII named them after Anne Boleyn, who became his second wife but was at the same time maid of honour to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Sweet pastry rounds are filled with a curd cheese and almond cake mixture then baked until risen and golden. Although it’s not traditional, you could add a teaspoon of your favourite jam to the pastry before you add the filling.
