Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
225g Puff pastry
Flour
2 Cottage cheese
225g Caster sugar
75g Lemon (rind)
1 Egg
50g Brandy
2 Icing sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F or 200°C. Grease the tartlet tins to prepare them for baking.

  2. Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry thinly on a floured surface. Use an 8cm cutter to create rounds, which will be used to line the tartlet tins.

  3. Fill the Pastry Tins: Spoon a small amount of jam or jelly into the bottom of each pastry tin. Then, chill them while you prepare the filling.

  4. Prepare the Filling: Sieve the cottage cheese into a bowl. Mix in the caster sugar, lemon rind, and ground almonds. Beat in the eggs and brandy until well combined.

  5. Combine and Fill: Add the prepared filling mixture to the curd mixture and mix until thoroughly blended. Fill each pastry case two-thirds full with the mixture.

  6. Bake: Place the filled tartlet tins in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until the tarts are well risen and puffy.

  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the tartlets to cool slightly before serving. Dust them with icing sugar for an added touch of sweetness.

These delightful Richmond Maids of Honour tartlets are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, offering a delightful blend of almond flavor and creamy texture, reminiscent of their royal origins. Serve them as a dessert for any occasion and indulge in a taste of history with every bite! 🥧✨
