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)

Cooking Time:

Preparation Method Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a 12-inch (30 cm) circle.
- 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.

- Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the fruit, pressing gently to seal.

Special Precautions and Tips:

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