Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Gently toss the ingredients until the blueberries are evenly coated. Set aside.
-
Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, creating a total of 8 squares.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water to create an egg wash.
-
Spoon a generous amount of the blueberry filling onto the center of each pastry square, leaving some room around the edges. Be careful not to overfill.
-
Brush the edges of each pastry square with the egg wash. Fold the pastry diagonally over the filling, forming a triangle. Use a fork to gently press and seal the edges.
-
Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with additional egg wash for a golden finish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
-
Once baked, allow the turnovers to cool slightly on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a beautiful, finishing touch.
-
Serve these Blueberry Turnovers warm or at room temperature for the best experience. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat any time of day!
