  1. Place the flour in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter and lard into cubes and add to the flour with a pinch of salt.

  3. Turn the mixture out on a floured work surface and knead gently into a ball. Cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes if possible. This will help the pastry relax and prevent shrinkage. method tip
  4. Set the oven to 220°c, 200°c fan, gas 7. Roll out the pastry thinly and cut into 8 circles about 7 cm in diameter, and 8 circles about 6 cm in diameter. Place the smaller circles on a baking tray and press a lolly stick into each one
  5. Spread the centre of the pastry with a little jam. Roll a pea size piece of marzipan into a ball, place on top then place an apricot over it. Dampen the edge of the pastry with a little water then place the larger circles on pastry on top. Press down well to seal, then use the prongs of a fork to mark the edge.
