Roll it out and cover 2/3 with dabbed butter, just like flaky pastry, sprinkle that with sugar and sultanas or currants. fold up the naked end halfway then fold up again to cover the fruit. press down and roll out a bit just to see the shape of the fruit, mark with criss cross lines, brush with milk, sprinkle of sugar and cut into pieces, bake at 400 f or 190 c till golden, around 20 - 30 minutes depending on size.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-4504048365805898192013-10-27T22:04:45.555+00:002013-10-27T22:04:45.555+00:00Oh yum yum everything looks beautiful.

I have been busy battening down hatches down on the coast here and hoping it will all disappear before tomorrow as we are going to visit baby grandaughter in Leeds. We will get there even if I have to move the fallen trees personally. Pity I didn't manage to pick up a couple of those lovely quiches. They would make good "sitting in the queue" food on the motorway.Jenny Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174438668766147257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-80828985160411365342013-10-27T20:37:24.039+00:002013-10-27T20:37:24.039+00:00Hi there Pam,

Roll out so you can just see the shape of the fruit without breaking the surface. Mark with criss cross lines, brush with milk and sprinkle a little sugar.
