Ingredients
- 2 puff pastry (rectangular, 275g each)
- 10.5 oz custard
- 2 tablespoons fig jam
- to taste powdered sugar
Steps
Draw the ghost figure on a sheet of baking paper. If you’re skilled, you can also draw it directly on the puff pastry.
Now cut out the shape with scissors. Position the cut-out ghost on the first sheet of puff pastry. Cut the edges with a knife.
Do the same on the second puff pastry, adding two holes for the eyes. Remove the excess parts.
Remove the excess parts.
Place the second puff pastry on top, the one with the eyes cut out.
Seal the edges well with a fork to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Put two tablespoons of jam on the eyes (I chose fig jam).
Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Suggestions, Tips
You can choose any filling you prefer, whether sweet or savory.
If you are good at drawing, you can avoid cutting out the ghost from baking paper by carving it directly on the puff pastry.
Prepare the custard following the recipe you’ll find here, but with these quantities: 1 egg, 50g of sugar, 25g of flour, 200ml of milk.
