500 g pack chilled puff pastry
4 tbsp strawberry jam
250 g strawberries, sliced
284 ml carton double cream, (heavy cream) whipped
2 tbsp icing sugar (confectioners sugar)
4 tbsp strawberry jam
250 g strawberries, sliced
284 ml carton double cream, (heavy cream) whipped
2 tbsp icing sugar (confectioners sugar)
method
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) Gas Mark 7.
2. Roll out the pastry, on a lightly floured surface, to form a rectangle measuring about 37 cm x 23 cm. Cut the rectangle into 3 strips, each measuring about 23 cm x 12 cm.
3. Place the pastry strips on a baking tray, on the middle shelf of the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until well risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack.
4. 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 the remaining jam, strawberries and cream, as before.
5. Place the last strip of pastry on top and sift the icing sugar over the whole thing.
6. Taking great care and using oven gloves, heat 4 smooth metal skewers over a gas flame or electric hob until very hot. Using one skewer, press diagonally on top of the icing sugar to form a line, repeat several times using the remaining skewers to form a criss-cross pattern.
7. Serve chilled, cut into slices.
