Instructions

  • Preheat oven 220c/ 450F / Gas 7 (200c fan assisted) layer
  • Roll out or unroll the puff pastry rectangle on a piece of greaseproof paper (helps you to lift onto baking tray)
  • Cut the edge of each side and use this to build up an edge, using milk secure the edge (see pic)
  • Using a fork dock the pastry all over
  • Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes until golden brown - keep you eye on it
  • Remove from oven and leave to cool on a wire rack - transfer to serving plate now
