Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, toss 2 cups blueberries with 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp lemon zest until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Step 5: Brush the folded edges with beaten egg, then bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and the filling bubbles around the edges.
  6. Step 6: Let cool for 15 minutes, then dust with 1/4 cup powdered sugar before slicing.
