Method

  1. Preheat oven to fan 160C/conventional 180C/gas 4. Roll the pastry out on a floured surface to the thickness of a £2 coin. Cut out 12 circles of pastry to fit a bun tin, re-rolling trimmings as needed. Line the tin with the pastry rounds, then brush with egg white. Crumble over the almonds and sprinkle over 2 tbsp of the sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and starting to go sticky. Leave to cool.

To take to the picnic

Stack the cases in a sealable container. Hull and quarter the strawberries and tip into another container with the raspberries. At the picnic pour champagne over the fruits and stir in mint leaves and the remaining sugar. Fill each tartlet with a small blob of clotted cream and top with a pile of boozy fruit.

    If you can't get hold of fresh clotted cream, you can always make your own. You'll need un-homogenised milk, the kind of full-cream milk that has the cream rising to the top of the bottle (or carton). Put this in a pan and heat until the edges of the milk begin to fizz - it should be hot but DON'T let it boil. When the edges are fizzling, take the pan off the heat and set aside to cool. Cover and put in fridge overnight. In the morning, skim off the now thickened, clotted cream. The amount of milk you use will depend on how many people you want to serve.

    These were very nice tartlets but a word of warning don't cook the pastry for too long keep a eye on them as they overcook very quickly.
