Method:

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Roll out the puff pastry and cut out a circle with the same diameter as the top of the frying pan. Cover the pastry disc and set aside.

Melt the butter over a medium heat. Add the brandy, light brown sugar and vanilla paste and stir for 2-3 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup is a light golden colour.

Arrange the nectarine halves cut side up in the hot syrup. Lower the heat and leave the syrup to bubble gently for 5 minutes.

Remove the frying pan from the heat. Carefully place the puff pastry circle over the nectarines and gently tuck in the edges. The syrup will be extremely hot so use a spoon to help you.

Pop the frying pan in the oven and bake for 30 minutes until the pastry is golden and has puffed up.

Carefully place a plate over the frying pan, and in one quick movement flip the tart onto the plate. Serve the tart with vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream.
