Pastry with Peach

I wanted an easy snack for the guests this Easter. For me, easy always equal to ready-made puff pastry. After googling around, I finally settled on the following recipe. You can always substitute the jam in the recipe to custard, for a fancier result.


Pastry with Peach


Ingredients
Puff pastry, best quality you could afford
Peach, canned in syrup, thinly sliced
Apricot jam
Egg yolk, for glazing
Powder sugar, for dusting
Ground cinnamon, for dusting

Method :-
1) Defrost ready-made puff pastry and pre-heat oven according to packet's instruction.
2) If the raw pastry hasn't been rolled out yet, then roll it to about 4mm thickness. Cut into squares or whatever shapes you fancy. Score the pastry (not too deep) about 1cm away from edge, around the shape. Then use a fork and poke  the middle of the pastry where you're going to place the fruit.
3) Spread jam in the middle, next place the sliced peach on the jam. Glazed the edge with egg yolk.
4) Bake according to packet's instruction. Mine too about 12mins @210°c.
5) Sprinkle some powdered sugar and ground cinnamon before serving.
