Directions

2. Add cold butter cut into cubes, and mix with your fingertips.

3. Add cold water and mix to form a ball.

4. Knead the dough a little, then spread it on a floured surface. Divide into 8 parts of the same weight, shape balls that you flatten slightly by hand. Wrap in plastic. Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, prepare the fruit: Combine nectarines and apricots cut into cubes in a bowl with the sugar. Set aside.
