Description

Flaky, golden pastries filled with sweet-tart blackberry filling and topped with a light glaze, perfect for breakfast or dessert.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 package puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup powdered sugar + 1-2 tbsp milk for glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Simmer over medium heat until thickened, about 8–10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  3. Roll out puff pastry sheets and cut into 6–8 equal squares or rectangles.
  4. Spoon blackberry filling into the center of each pastry square. Fold over into a triangle or rectangle and press edges with a fork to seal.
  5. Brush tops with egg wash and cut a small slit in the top for steam to escape.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze or dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Use a mix of berries for variety.
  • Let filling cool completely before assembling to avoid soggy pastry.
  • Make mini turnovers with smaller pastry squares.
  • Freeze unbaked turnovers for later and bake straight from frozen.
