  • ¾ cup of caster sugar
  • 3 peaches, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste
  • 1 sheet of butter puff pastry

  2. Increase heat and cook until a gold coloured syrup. 
  3. Add butter and stir until melted. Set aside.
  4. In a 21cm cake tin, position peaches so they overlap slightly and drizzle half the syrup atop.
  5. Cut butter puff pastry into 22cm round and place over peaches.
  6. Bake until pastry is golden (20 minutes.)
  7. Return syrup to medium heat and cook for five minutes. Add vanilla and stir.
