Muktas diariesIngredients
- 1/2 sheet rolled out puff pastry
- 400 grams tinned peaches in juice
- 50 grams ground almonds
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- icing sugar for dusting(optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180 C.
Step 2
Cut the pastry into 4 portions and lay on a lined baking tray. Brush each portion lightly with some butter.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix the almonds, egg, butter and sugar to form a paste. Spread this paste on the pastry portions, leaving a border. Bake in the oven for 5-8 minutes or until the pastry starts to rise.
Step 4
Remove the tray from the oven. Drain the peaches and arrange them over the almond paste. Bake again for 8-10 minutes or until the pastry has risen from the side and is golden.
Step 5
Remove and keep aside to cool for a few minutes. Dust some icing sugar. Serve warm.
Step 6
* Since I have used tinned peaches which were already ripe, I have baked the pastry separately first, before adding the peaches and baking again.
