For tartlets:

Preheat oven to 400F. Line large baking sheet with foil. Roll out pastry on
floured surface to 17x11inch rectangle, and 1/8inch thick. Cut into six 4
1/2x5 1/2inch rectangles. Cut off 1/2inchwide strip from each side of 1
rectangle. Brush strips with beaten egg. Place 2 long strips, egg side
down, atop long edges of rectangle. Place short strips, egg side down, atop
short edges, trimming to fit. Repeat with remaining rectangles.

Place pastries on baking sheet. Spread 1 teaspoon honey over bottom of
each. Slice each peach half thinly; fan slightly. Place 1 half in center of
each pastry. Top each with 1 teaspoon sugar.

Bake tartlets until crust is golden, about 25 minutes. Immediately transfer
to rack; cool. Rewarm syrup until liquefied. Brush peaches with syrup.

Beat cream, honey and vanilla in bowl to soft peaks. Serve tartlets with
honey cream.
