Ingredients

Method
  • 125 g mascarpone
  • 125 g unsalted butter
  • 1 cup flour
  • Egg white
  • Sugar
  • Thickly sliced nectarines
  • Egg yolk beaten
  • Water
  • Thick cream

1. Cream the mascarpone with the unsalted butter. Mix in a cup of flour to form a dough. Wrap and chill until firm enough to roll. Roll out to form a rough round. Brush with egg white and sprinkle generously with sugar.

2. Pile with thickly sliced nectarines, leaving a border. Sprinkle with sugar and dot with butter. Casually fold over the border of pastry. Brush with the egg yolk beaten with a little water.

3. Bake at 200ºC for about half an hour until golden brown.
