Take a portion of these discs make holes with a fork and sprinkle with beaten egg white. Take other disks and cut them further to the center with another pastry cutter with smaller diameter (2 cm). In this way you will get some donuts which then you will have to overlay to the disks previously obtained. They will be a kind of vol-au-vent puff pastry, sprinkle on the surface of the egg white and bake in oven at 180° C for about 15-20 minutes.
Once cooked and cooled stuffed them with the lemon cream, sprinkle them with a mixture of icing sugar and ginger powder and serve them.
