Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry, smoothing out any creases. Chill briefly if too soft.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon zest if using. Toss gently.
- Cut the rolled-out pastry into equal rectangles, approximately 3 inches wide and 6 inches long.
- Spoon berry mixture down the center of each rectangle, leaving a border around the edges.
- Fold the sides of each rectangle over the berry filling, pinching the edges to seal. Twist gently.
- Place the twisted pastries onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Brush the tops of each pastry with the beaten egg for a golden hue when baked.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
- Cool slightly on the baking sheet and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Chill the pastry if it becomes too soft and avoid overfilling to prevent leaks.
