Ingredients
-
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
-
1 cup fresh blueberries
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch
-
1 teaspoon lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 egg
-
1 tablespoon milk
-
Powdered sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
-
In a small bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix gently until the berries are coated.
-
Lightly flour your surface and unfold the puff pastry sheet. Cut it into 4 equal squares.
-
Spoon the blueberry filling into the center of each pastry square, leaving space around the edges.
-
Fold the corners slightly toward the center, leaving the middle open so the blueberries can be seen.
-
In another small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash. Brush it over the pastry edges for a shiny golden finish.
-
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and beautifully golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
-
Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
Tips
-
Fresh blueberries work best, but frozen blueberries can also be used.
-
Add a little cream cheese beneath the berries for extra richness.
-
Serve with tea or coffee for a cozy treat.
