Recipe - Strawberry Mille-Feuilles

1 500 gram pac chilled puff
pastry; (1lb)
4 tablespoon Strawberry jam
250 g Strawberries; cut or sliced up (8oz)
1 284 millilit double cream;
whipped (10floz)
2 tablespoon Icing sugar; sifted

1. Preheat the oven to 220 C, 425 F, Gas Mark 7.

2. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to form a rectangle
37cm x 23 cm (15 inches x 9 inches). Cut the rectangle into 3 strips, 23 cm
x 12 cm (9 inches x 5 inches).

3. Place on a baking tray in the preheated oven on the middle oven shelf
for 1015 minutes or until well risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack.

4. Place one pastry strip on a serving plate and spread with half the jam.
Arrange half the strawberries on top then spread with half the cream. Place
a second pastry strip on top and spread with remaining jam, strawberries
and cream.

5. Place the last strip of pastry on top and sift with icing sugar.

6. Taking great care and using oven gloves, heat 4 smooth metal skewers
over a gas flame or electric hob until very hot. Using one skewer, press
diagonally on top of the icing sugar to form a line, repeat several times
using the remaining skewers to form a crisscross pattern. Served chilled,
cut into slices.
