Ingredients
- 1 block M&S all butter puff pastry
- 1 punnet M&S Irish strawberries
- 70g soft butter
- 70g caster sugar
- 70g ground almonds
- 4 tbsp plain flour + 1tbsp for dusting
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp strawberry jam
- 1 packet Cook with M&S mint
- 100ml M&S whipping cream
Method:
- Begin by preheating your oven, get a heavy tray in there and set the temperature to 190c
- To make the almond paste, place the butter and sugar in a bowl and blend with an electric whisk until pale in colour. Add the almonds, flour, and egg and mix into a paste. Set aside in the fridge.
- For the pastry, add the remaining flour onto a workbench and begin rolling it out until its approx. 1cm thick. Trim the edges to make a square before cutting into 4 even squares.
- Use a fork to prick some holes in the middle of the pastry squares, this will prevent the middle rising. Spread a thick layer of the almond paste across the forked area of the pastry squares.
- Remove the green leaves from the strawberries and place standing up in the almond paste.
- Place the squares on some baking parchment and onto the preheated tray in the oven. Cook for 25mins until the pastry is golden brown and the strawberries cooked.
- Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack, while they are cooling warm the jam in a small pot over a low heat. Brush the strawberries with the jam to create a glaze.
- Finish by topping with some mint leaves and serve with some lightly whipped cream
