Instructions
-
Preheat and cut
Preheat oven to 425°F / 220°C while preparing. Cut pastry into four equal squares and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Fill
Score a 1 cm border without cutting through. Spread jam inside each border, then add one thin layer of peach slices. Scatter almonds over the fruit and brush borders with milk.
-
Bake
Bake in the fully heated oven for 15–18 minutes until the borders are puffed and deeply golden and the bases are crisp, following a longer pastry-package time if needed.
-
Cool briefly
Let stand on the tray for 3 minutes before serving; the jam will be hot.
