Strawberry Mille-Feuilles.


Ingredients


Instructions

  1. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to form a rectangle 37cm x 23cm (15 inches x 9 inches). Cut the rectangle into 3 strips, 23cm x 12cm (9 inches x 5 inches).
  2. Place on a baking tray in a preheated oven 220øC, 425øF, Gas Mark 7 for 10-15 minutes or until well risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack.
  3. Place one pastry strip on a serving plate and spread with half the jam. Arrange half the strawberries on top then spread with half the cream. Place a second pastry strip on top and spread with remaining jam, strawberries and cream.
  4. Place the last strip of pastry on top and sift with icing sugar.
  5. Taking great care, heat 4 smooth metal skewers over a gas flame or electric hob until very hot. Using oven gloves, pick up one skewer and press diagonally on top of the icing sugar to form a line, repeat several times using remaining skewers to form a criss-cross pattern. Serve chilled, cut into slices.
Cooking Time: Approximately 10-15 minutes
Serves: 6-8
