Nectarine Puff Pastry Tarts

(Recipe adapted from Best-ever pastry cookbook by Catehrine Atkinson

Ingredients:

• 225g puff pastry
• 15g butter egg yolk
• 450g nectarines
• 2 tbsp caster sugar
• freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions:

1. On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a large rectangle. Cut into smaller rectangles (size is up to you).
2. Transfer the pastry to the baking sheet. Using a fork, score the edges of each rectangle to form a border. Chill the pastry shapes for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 degree c.
3. Cut the nectarines up into thin slices. Arrange the nectarine slices in the centre of the pastry rectangles, leaving the border uncovered. Sprinkle caster sugar and a little freshly grated nutmeg onto the pastries.
4. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges of each pastry case are puffed up and the fruit is tender.
5. Transfer the tarts to a wire rack to cool slightly before removing and serving warm.
