Pastry Sandwiches

Source: Eliza Acton, 1845

Instructions

  1. Divide equally in two, and roll off square and as thin as possible, some rich puff paste.
  2. Lay one half on a buttered tin, or copper oven-leaf, and spread it lightly with fine currant, strawberry or raspberry jelly.
  3. Lay the remaining half closely over, pressing it a little with the rolling pin after the edges are well cemented together.
  4. Then mark it into divisions, and bake it from fifteen to twenty minutes in a moderate oven.
  5. Note: almond-paste is sometimes substituted for the puff paste.
