Add the butter & flour to a food processor, whizz till it resembles fine breadcrumbs, then whisk the egg and gradually add little water to help the fruit swell, but not too much, you don’t want lots of sauce. Remove from the heat to cool a little.

Take the dough from the fridge, roll out till 3mm thick, cut using a circle cutter bigger than each muffin hole & add each pastry disc to a greased tray. Spoon in the filling, then top with a pastry shape.

Brush with beaten egg & sprinkle with a little sugar (optional).
