PREPARATION

  1. For a slightly flaky dough, cut the butter and fat (lard or vegetable fat serves as fat) into small cubes and place in the fridge. Tip: Lard later makes the dough a little softer than vegetable fat.

  2. Mix flour, salt and sugar. Using your fingertips or a food processor, roughly incorporate the cold fat and butter. Add cold water and mix with a fork until a dough forms.

  3. Form the dough into a disc on a lightly floured work surface, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for two hours. Preheat the oven to 210 degrees (bottom heat or fan oven).

  4. Prepare the fruit: blanch, peel and chop the peaches or nectarines. Wash and dry berries. Mix everything with flour and sugar and distribute evenly in the glasses.

  5. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured work surface to a thickness of three to four millimeters and cut evenly into strips or cut out with a suitable cutter or a glass. Use the strips to weave a lattice over the filling or slit a pattern in the circle of dough to allow steam to escape while baking.

  6. Place the pastry lid on the fruit in the jar. Bake for 15 minutes in the middle of the oven. Then reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees and bake for another eight to nine minutes until the pie is golden brown.
