Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 2 heaping cups fresh blueberries
Dry Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) sugar
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Additional sugar, for sprinkling
Pastry and Baking Ingredients:
- 1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed (preferably Trader Joe’s Puff Pastry)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 egg, beaten
- A little flour (for cutting surface)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C / 425°F and arrange a parchment paper lining on a baking sheet to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Create the fruity filling by gently mixing blueberries with cornstarch, granulated sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until the berries are uniformly coated with the sweet-tangy mixture.
- Prepare the pastry by lightly dusting a clean work surface with flour. Carefully unfold the chilled puff pastry sheets and use a rolling pin to smooth out any creases, then slice each sheet into four equal, symmetrical squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Assemble the turnovers by positioning the pastry squares on the prepared baking sheet. Distribute a generous spoonful of the blueberry mixture into the center of each square, then elegantly fold the corners toward the middle, pressing firmly to create a secure seal that prevents filling from leaking during baking.
- Craft the golden glaze by whisking an egg with melted butter. Delicately brush the egg wash over the entire surface of each pastry, ensuring complete coverage, then sprinkle a light dusting of granulated sugar to create a sparkling, caramelized exterior.
- Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown color and bubbling fruit filling that indicates perfect doneness.
- Serve the blueberry turnovers while warm, optionally garnishing with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a delicate sprinkle of powdered sugar to enhance the dessert’s visual appeal and flavor profile.
Notes
- Chill out with cold pastry to maintain its signature flaky layers and prevent stickiness during preparation.
- Seal those edges like a pro by gently pinching and using a tiny water trick to lock in all the delicious blueberry goodness.
- Balance your filling game by adding just enough blueberries to create a perfect pocket without risking pastry explosions.
- Brush that egg wash like an artist, covering every single surface to achieve a stunning golden-brown glow that’ll make everyone drool.
- Watch your baking time closely to hit that magical golden-brown sweet spot where flavor and texture come together in pastry perfection.
