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.
