Orange Pastry Rings Recipe 🍊🤍 These delicate puff pastry rings are elegant and bursting with citrus flavor, making them ideal for any occasion. 🥰 📝Ingredients: (You can choose your preferred ring sizes) For the pastry: • 1 roll of puff pastry • 1 egg yolk (for brushing) • Sliced almonds (for sprinkling) For the orange curd: • 75 ml (1/3 cup) freshly squeezed orange juice (unsweetened) • 1 egg yolk • 30 g (2 Tbsp) sugar (adjust to taste based on the sweetness of the oranges) • 1 tsp grated orange zest (unwaxed) • 1 tsp cornstarch (for a thicker consistency) • 1 tsp butter (room temperature) For the filling: • 200 ml (3/4 cup) whipping cream • Orange curd (prepared earlier) For decoration: • Orange segments • Powdered sugar 🤍 Instructions: 1. Roll out the puff pastry and cut out evenly sized circles using a round cookie cutter. Use a smaller cutter to punch a hole in the center of each circle. 2. Lightly brush one circle with water, then place another circle on top to create a double-layered ring. Repeat until all the pastry is used. 3. Place the rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush with egg yolk, and sprinkle with sliced almonds. 4. Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (430°F) for about 15 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Let the rings cool completely. 5. To make the orange curd, heat the orange juice and zest in a small saucepan over medium heat (do not boil). 6. In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolk, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly pour the warm orange juice into the mixture, stirring constantly. 7. Return the mixture to the saucepan and heat gently, stirring continuously, until it thickens (do not let it boil). Remove from heat and stir in the butter until creamy. Strain the curd through a fine sieve for a smooth texture and let it cool completely. 8. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form, then fold in the cooled orange curd. 9. Carefully slice the cooled pastry rings in half horizontally. Use a piping bag to fill the bottom halves with the orange cream. 10. Decorate with orange segments and place the top halves of the rings back on. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
