Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Saucepan
- Silicon Spatula
- Fork
- pastry brush
- Rolling pin
Ingredients
Puff pastry dough
- 1½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup sour cream
Raspberry filling
- 2 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in cold water
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups raspberries fresh or frozen
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg beaten with water to seal pastry edges
Instructions
Homemade puff pastry
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Cut cold butter into the flour mixture until it is unevenly crumbly, with larger chunks of butter remaining intact. Mix in sour cream (dough will be cohesive, but craggy).
- On a lightly floured surface, turn the dough out and knead a few times. Pat into a square and then roll into a 8x10 rectangle.
- Dust both sides of the dough with flour. Then, starting with the shorter ends, fold it in thirds like a letter, flip it over and turn it 90°.
- Roll the dough again into another 810 rectangle. Fold in thirds, wrap in plastic, and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Raspberry filling
- In a small bowl, mix the water and cornstarch until combined. In a saucepan, add the sugar and raspberries and toss to combine. Add in the vanilla and cornstarch mixture.
- Heat the mixture on low, stirring, until the berries fall apart and soften. Cook until the mixture bubbles and thickens (5-7 minutes). Cover and refrigerate until ready for use.
Assemble turnovers
- Once the filling has been prepared and cooled, preheat oven to 400°. Roll the chilled dough into a 16 inch square. Cut fourteen 4 inch squares.
- For a tighter seal on the pastries, brush 2 adjoining edges of the square with egg wash.
- Place about 2 tsp of filling off center into each square. Fold the pastries in half diagonally to create the triangular turnover. Using a fork along the edges, create a seal.
- Place each turnover on a silicon mat on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are a deep golden brown color and some filling may be oozing out.
- Remove the turnovers from the oven and let cool on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
