Instructions
To make the pastry, place flour, caster sugar and butter in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. With the motor running, add the iced water and process until the mixture starts to form a dough. Knead lightly on a floured work surface until dough just holds together. Divide into 2 discs and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
In the meantime, combine all ingredients for the fruit mixture in a bowl and stir to combine. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll each disc out into a circle, about 4mm thick. Place half the fruit mixture in the center of each pastry round, leaving a 5cm border all around. Fold in the sides of the pastry and brush with egg. Scatter with a little raw sugar and bake for 20-30 minutes or until pastry is golden.
Serve with a scattering of icing sugar, extra thyme leaves and ice cream or cream.
