It's Easter, and that means baked ham, chocolate eggs, and brunch! There's something about Easter brunch that makes me happy. It's sort of like Thanksgiving, not as big of a production, and it still has so many awesome things to eat.
And once your family has inhaled the ham or the lamb, they're going to want something light to have with that cup of tea or coffee. Now would be a good time to start wiping that drool away because these little Puff Pastry squares are so easy to make.
The combination of the tart rhubarb along with the sweet pastry cream custard are totally meant to be together.
I used frozen rhubarb just because it's still a little tricky to find fresh rhubarb in March, but the frozen works perfectly. It'll seem like it's letting off a lot of moisture when you're cooking it, but don't worry, that moisture will disappear and you'll be left with a thick jam-like mixture.
You'll need to add some sugar because rhubarb is quite tart and the sugar will also help to thicken it. Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets are perfect for desserts like this, whether it's sweet or savory.
You'll be guaranteed layers of flaky pastry and that golden top. For maximum yum, try one of these hand pies straight from the oven; careful though, the inside is hot!
Simply divide each Puff Pastry Sheet (2 in a box) into nine evenly sized squares and drop a dollop of the rhubarb in the center of nine of the squares. Cut a small circle in the center of the remaining nine squares which will be the lids.
Top the rhubarb with some rich custard and place another Puff Pastry square on top to seal the hand pies.
So easy, right? My favorite part is taking them out of the oven and seeing how high my pastry has risen, which is usually really high! Let me know in a comment what you like to make with Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets, and happy brunching!
