Ingredients and Weight:

• 1 (1 lb) package refrigerated puff pastry, thawed
• 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fruit filling (such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or a combination)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Preparation Time:

Cooking Time:

25-30 minutes

Difficulty Level:

Preparation Method Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a 12-inch (30 cm) circle.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the edges.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the fruit, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Spread the mixture over the flour mixture, leaving the border exposed.
5. Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the fruit, pressing gently to seal.
6. Brush the edges of the pastry with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

8. Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Special Precautions and Tips:

• Don't overwork the pastry, as this will make it tough.
