- Spoon a little of the goat's cheese mixture into the centre of each pastry square.

Food safety & botanical notes
- Allergens: Contains wheat/gluten (typical puff pastry), milk/dairy (goat's cheese) and egg (pastry wash). Puff pastry may contain additional allergens; check ingredient labels and cross-contact.
- Culinary botanical: Use only food-grade, correctly identified dried flowers of Sambucus nigra, not unidentified flowers or other parts of the elder plant such as leaves, stems or unripe berries.
- Soft cheese: If pregnant, use appropriately pasteurised goat's cheese and follow individual food-safety advice. Keep cheese chilled until preparation and serve the cooked tartlets promptly.
- Honey: Do not serve honey-containing foods to children under 12 months.
- Egg and pastry: Brush only the pastry edges with beaten egg, bake thoroughly, and do not taste raw pastry or egg.
- Timing and yield: The original source specifies 200°C and approximately 15–18 minutes but gives no independently validated serving yield, storage life or kitchen-test result. Do not invent them.
