Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Blueberry Filling
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries Use fresh ingredients wherever possible.
  • 1/4 cup sugar Feel free to replace with a Halal-friendly sweetener if desired.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the Pastry
  • 1 package puff pastry (2 sheets)
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook on medium heat until the mixture starts to bubble and thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. While your filling is cooling, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. On a floured surface, carefully roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into squares, roughly 4x4 inches.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Place about 2 tablespoons of the blueberry mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold the corners of the dough over to create a triangle shape, pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Brush the tops of each turnover with the egg wash to achieve a beautiful golden color when baked.
  3. Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
  4. Once baked, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Top with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Keep an eye on the baking time. Each oven is different, so check your turnovers at the 20-minute mark to ensure they don’t over-bake. Your Blueberry Turnovers can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. For freezing, wrap individually and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
