4oz (125g) unsalted butter
4oz (125g) caster sugar
1 egg
4oz Self Raising Flour
4 oz Plain Flour + pinch of salt
2 tbsp strawberry jam
1 eating apple grated
Zest from 1 unwaxed orange
8 oz firm ripe strawberries
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 small tub mascarpone
Heat the oven to (180C) Gas 4. Cream the butter and caster sugar together and then beat in the egg. Sift in the flour and salt a little at a time until you have a soft dough. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Divide the pastry in two. Roll one half out into an 8” disc and put it into a well-greased 8” sandwich tin. Cover with the jam and apple and sprinkle with the orange zest. Add the strawberries, thickly sliced. Roll out the remaining pastry and place on top. Brush with water and then sprinkle with the granulated sugar. Bake for 30 – 40 minutes until golden brown and well risen. Serve warm or cold with mascarpone. Serves 6 – 8.
