Ingredients




Half a sheet of rolled out puff pastry
400 gm tin of peaches (in juice)
50 gms ground almonds
1 egg
1 tbsp butter and some more for greasing
2 tbsp sugar
Sugar for dusting (optional)

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 180 C. 2 Cut the pastry into 4 portions and lay on a lined baking tray. Brush each portion lightly with some butter. 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. 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. 5 Remove and keep aside to cool for a few minutes. Dust some icing sugar. Serve warm. 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.
