You’ll Need
1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
1 tsp vanilla extract
180g thick vanilla custard
1 egg, beaten
6 tinned peach slices, well drained
1 tbsp demerara sugar
To Finish
Apricot jam, warmed
Icing sugar
Optional But Dangerous
White chocolate drizzle
Vanilla ice cream
Method
Preheat the air fryer to 180°C.
Cut the pastry into six squares and score a 1cm border around each without cutting through.
Fold two opposite corners towards the centre to create a loose crown shape.
Mix the custard with vanilla and spoon it into the centres.
Top each with a very well-drained peach slice.
Brush the pastry with egg and sprinkle the edges with demerara sugar.
Air fry for 9-11 minutes until risen, crisp and golden.
Brush the peaches with warm apricot jam and dust lightly with icing sugar.
Lad Tip: Drain the peaches like you mean it. Syrup on raw pastry is how a crown becomes a damp hat.
