Something good for teatime!
Ingredients:
Pastry:
250g/8.8oz Plain Flour
125g/4.4oz Salted Butter, cubed
1 Egg Yolk
3 Tbls Milk
1 Tsp Lemon Zest
1 Tbls Icing Sugar
All ingredients cold
Filling:
3 Peaches (Nectarines), sliced
1/4 Cup Blueberries
2 Tbls Brown Sugar
1 Tbls Lemon Juice
2 Tbls Cornflour/Cornstarch
Pinch of Cinnamon & Nutmeg
Topping:
1/3 Cup Slivered Almonds
Brown Sugar
2 Tbls Peach Jam (warmed in the microwave)
Egg Yolk – For Egg Wash
Method:
Pastry –
Sift the flour and icing sugar in a large bowl of a stand mixer and whisk together.
In a small jug mix the egg yolk and milk together.
Add the butter to the flour and bring to fine crumbs either by using the rubbing in method or using a stand mixer. Add the lemon zest then slowly add the egg mixture and mix just until the dough forms. Wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Filling –
In a bowl toss the peaches, blueberries, sugar and lemon juice together. Set aside for 15 minutes for the fruit to absorb the juices then add the cornflour just before you are going to assemble the pie.
Making the pie –
On a floured surface, roll out the pastry big enough to cut out a 12-14 inch circle and transfer to a baking sheet. Place the sized plate over the pastry and cut out the circle.
Arrange the peaches and blueberries over the dough leaving a 3 inch border. Refrigerate for 15 minutes (this will slightly harden the dough and make it easier to fold over). In the meantime preheat oven to 200C/400F.
Fold the border over the filling and pleating the edge as you go around to make it fit. Brush the pastry with egg yolk. Sprinkle with more sugar and almonds. Bake for about 45 minutes or until pastry is golden. Remove pie from oven and baste the top of fruit with warmed peach jam.
Serve with a scoop of ice-cream or cream on top and enjoy!
