Ingredients:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed

- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the berries evenly.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.

- Allow the pastries to cool for a few minutes before dusting them with powdered sugar, if desired.
How to prepare:
Preparing these delicious Summer Berry Puff Pastries is quite simple. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Make sure the berries are well coated with the sugar and cornstarch mixture. This will help thicken the filling as it bakes.
Next, roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. You can use a rolling pin to achieve an even thickness. Once rolled, cut the pastry into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference. These will serve as the base for your berry tarts.
Place a spoonful of the berry mixture onto each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill, as the juices may leak out during baking. Fold and crimp the edges of the pastry to seal the filling, creating a rustic tart shape.
Finally, brush the pastries with beaten egg wash. This will give them a beautiful golden and shiny crust when baked. Transfer the pastries to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
Once baked, allow the pastries to cool for a few minutes before serving. If desired, you can dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

FAQs:
Q: Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh ones?
A: Yes, you can use frozen berries. Just make sure to thaw and drain them before using in the recipe.

A: Absolutely! However, using store-bought puff pastry saves time and still yields delicious results.
