Quick Glazed Strawberry Tarts

Preparation & cooking time: Prep time: 5 mins Cooking time: 10-15 mins Ingredients 1 x 215g sheet, ready-rolled puff pastry (or bought puff pastry cases) 30ml/1 fl oz milk 300ml/1/2 pint double cream, whipped 1 tbsp Lyle's Golden Syrup 225g/8 oz strawberries, hulled and quartered 1 tbsp Lyle's Squeezy Syrup Strawberry Flavour Serves 4

Method

1. Heat oven to 200/fan 220/gas 5. Lay out the puff pastry and with a 98mm pastry cutter (or an upside down glass), cut out 4 rounds. With a smaller (78mm) pastry cutter (or smaller upside down glass), make an incision in the middle of the pastry disk, all the way through. Glaze the pastry with the milk.

2. Lay on a lined tray and bake in the oven for 10 mins or until risen, crisp and golden. Cool on a wire rack.

3. Very carefully cut around the inner circle (that was scored with the smaller pastry cutter) and remove. Scoop out the excess pastry from the middle to leave a crisp pastry case.

4. Mix the whipped cream and Lyle's Golden Syrup to make a delicate, sweet Chantilly cream. Fill the cases with the cream and top with mounds of strawberries. Finally, with a pastry brush, glaze the strawberries with Lyle's Squeezy Syrup Strawberry Flavour.

Serve between 4 plates.
