Ingredients
Puff pastry sheets
Fresh or frozen blueberries
Granulated sugar
Cornstarch
Lemon juice
Lemon zest
Vanilla extract
Egg (for egg wash)
Powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
Milk (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook until thickened and jam-like, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool completely.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut into equal squares.
Place a spoonful of cooled blueberry filling in the center of each square.
Fold each square diagonally into a triangle and press edges with a fork to seal.
Brush tops with beaten egg.
Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18–22 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Optionally, mix powdered sugar and milk to create a glaze and drizzle over the turnovers.
Notes
Ensure the filling is thick and fully cooled before assembling to prevent soggy pastry.
Seal edges tightly to avoid leaking during baking.
Keep puff pastry cold for best rise and flakiness.
Try other fruits like raspberries or apples for variation.
