Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/2 cup creme fraiche
  • 2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 5 ounces good-quality ham (cut very thinly or shaved)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.

  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry into an 11 inch square.

  3. Using a 1 ½ inch pastry cutter, stamp out 42 rounds.

  4. Place rounds on a baking sheet and bake until puffed and golden, 18-20 minutes; let cool until ready to serve.

  5. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the creme fraiche with the mustard, honey, lemon juice, Worcestershire, salt, and cayenne; chill a few minutes to thicken and blend flavors.

  6. To assemble biscuits-split each pastry in half, spoon or pipe a dollop of the honey-mustard creme fraiche on the base; arrange some ham on the cream, and put on the top.

  7. Serve immediately.
