Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 sheet of puff pastry or homemade galette dough
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Turbinado sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cinnamon if using. Gently toss to coat evenly and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
- Transfer the rolled-out pastry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon the blueberry filling onto the center, leaving about 2 inches border all around.
- Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, pleating as needed to create a rustic look, and pinch to seal.
- Brush the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar for added crunch and sweetness.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with a chilled beverage or fresh mint garnish for a complete elven feast.
Notes
- You can substitute puff pastry with homemade or gluten-free options for dietary preferences.
- Thaw frozen blueberries and drain excess moisture before use to prevent sogginess.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle with additional lemon zest or a drizzle of honey before serving.
