Berry Turnovers
This was my first experience using puff pastry and it was wonderful. No need to get out the electric mixer and slave over a dough recipe! Just whip up some berry filling, plop it on puff pastry, and stick it in the oven. It's pretty much that easy!
Ingredients
1 sheet of puff pastry
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup blueberries
1 cup raspberries
2 tablespoons melted butter
pinch of salt
Glaze:
3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
juice from 1/2 lemon
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and let 1 sheet of puff pastry thaw.
2. Combine berries, sugar, corn starch, a pinch of salt, and a tablespoon of water. Cook over medium heat until berries soften and it thickens.
3. Cut your puff pastry sheet into six squares. Drop a dollop of berry filling into the middle of each square (not too much and not too little...you don't want there to be too much oozing out the sides). Fold over, creating a triangle and pinch ends together with a fork.
4. Melt the butter and brush the tops of each turnover.
5. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Add the confectioner's sugar to the lemon juice and drizzle over each turnover after cooled.
