What's for Dessert? Napoleon

Today I'm going to share with you a very yummy and a very easy recipe, Napoleon. I made this yesterday and took some pictures. At the end, I have a link for a pdf version if you want to print it out.



Ingredients:
6 squares of puff pastry
1 cup white, granulated sugar
1 cup milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 stick butter or margarine
Enough powdered sugar for dusting, about 1/2 cup

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut room temperature puff pastry squares into fours and place on parchment paper on a sheet pan. Bake until they puff and are golden brown. Once they are done, take out and cool completely.


2. For the filling, put all ingredients in a pan on low heat, stirring frequently. Cook until the filling has thickened. Let cool. It will thicken more when it’s cooled completely.

3. Take a cooled square of puff pastry and halve it with a sharp knife. Don’t worry if you don’t cut some perfectly or if some break, keep them. Do this for all of them.


4. Now start filling it with the cooled filling. You have a choice of making it two layered or three layered (pictured above). If you make it three layers, you will have 12 napoleons, more if you do only two layers.

5. If you don’t have extra filling or puff pasty left, skip this step. If you do, read on. After filling it all, if you have a few extra puffs, crush them with your hands to make it like confetti. If you have left over filling, spread a little bit on top of the napoleon and sprinkle the crushed puffs on top.


6. Dust napoleons with powdered sugar right before serving. Can be refrigerated if you want to make it in advance.
