Ingredients
  

For the Blueberry Puff Pastry Tarts

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

For the Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest optional

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry

  • Lightly flour your surface and unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. Roll it gently to smooth creases. Cut into 6 equal rectangles (or 9 squares for smaller portions).

Step 3: Score the Borders

  • Using a sharp knife, lightly score a ½-inch border around each piece, being careful not to cut all the way through. This helps create a raised crust edge.

Step 4: Make the Blueberry Filling

  • In a bowl, gently toss:
  • 1 ½ cups blueberries
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Mix until evenly coated.

Step 5: Assemble the Tarts

  • Spoon the blueberry mixture into the center of each pastry piece, staying within the scored borders.
  • Whisk together:
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Brush the pastry edges with the egg wash.

Step 6: Bake

  • Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 10–15 minutes.

Step 7: Prepare the Lemon Glaze

  • In a small bowl, whisk together:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Adjust to desired consistency. Stir in ½ teaspoon lemon zest if using.
  • Drizzle over cooled tarts.
