Ingredients

Contains: wheat (auto-detected from the ingredients and method; we can miss things, so check labels)

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Cut puff pastry into tin shapes, each smaller than the last, to form a pyramid.

  2. Layer the shapes with the largest at the bottom and the smallest at the top.

  3. Bake in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) until pale.

  4. Once baked, decorate the edges of each shape with different colored sweetmeats.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
