Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Pastry brush
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients

For the Pastry

  • 17.3 oz Puff pastry thawed
  • 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour for dusting

For the Filling

  • 1 cup Mixed berries blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar to enhance sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch to thicken filling
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract for aroma
  • 1 unit Zest of 1 lemon optional

For the Finishing Touch

  • 1 unit Egg beaten for brushing

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface until smooth, refrigerating if sticky.
  • In a bowl, combine mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon zest; toss gently and set aside.
  • Cut the rolled-out puff pastry into rectangles, approximately 3 inches wide and 6 inches long.
  • Place a spoonful of the berry mixture down the center of each pastry rectangle, leaving borders to seal.
  • Fold the sides of each rectangle over the filling, pinching tightly to seal and twisting for shape.
  • Place the twisted pastries onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden color, covering evenly.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
  • Allow to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Notes

For best results, chill dough if it becomes too soft, don't overfill, and ensure to seal edges well. Adjust baking time as needed for individual ovens.
