Instructions

  1. Preheat oven – Preheat oven to 375 degrees f/190 degrees c. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Make blueberry compote – In a small saucepan, add the blueberries, granulated white sugar, lemon juice and cornstarch. Stir well and set over medium heat. Cook down for about 5 – 8 minutes. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the blueberries as it cooks down. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  3. Cut pastry shapes – Lay out the cold puff pastry sheet and cut out as many shapes as you can using Easter cookie cutters. Place the shapes on the prepared baking tray.
  4. Make egg wash – In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the milk. Brush the pastry with the egg wash.
  5. Bake pastry – Bake between 10 – 12 minutes until the pastry is puffed up and golden. Remove from oven and leave to cool for about 5 minutes.
  6. Separate pastry shapes – Take a puff pastry shape and gently remove the top part from the bottom part. It should come apart easily. Repeat for all shapes.
  7. Fill and assemble – Spoon lemon curd into the bottom part of the pastry. Then top with the blueberry compote. Top with the half of the puff pastry. Repeat for all shapes.
  8. Finish and serve – Dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Recipe Tips

  • Use cold puff pastry – When cutting the shapes, make sure to use cold puff pastry. It’s much easier to work with. Warm puff pastry will be difficult to cut and shape properly.
  • Prep ahead blueberry filling – You can make the filling up to a week in advance. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator until using.
  • Gently separate the pastry – After the pastry is baked, make sure it cools completely before you try to separate the top from the bottom. It should come apart quite easily, just remove it gently so you don’t break the pastry apart.

Substitutions

  • Puff pastry – I used store bought puff pastry. I don’t currently have a recipe for homemade puff pastry, but feel free to use one that you might have.
  • Lemon curd – I used premade Homemade Lemon Curd. You can just as easily use store bought lemon curd for this recipe.
  • Blueberry compote – I made a homemade blueberry compote which you will see in the recipe card. But if you want to make it an easier dessert, you can use store bought blueberry jam.

Serving and Storage

  • Serving – Serve these little pasteries at an Easter brunch with my Easter Fruit Platter,  Bacon & Onion Quiche and dainty little Cucumber Sandwiches!
  • Storage – You can keep these up to two days in an airtight container in the fridge. Just keep in mind, the pastry will be soft and not crisp after they are stored.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between jam and compote?

Although jam and compote are very similar, there are some differences. Jam is generally more uniform in consistency and more spreadable. Compote will usually have more fruit pieces and it’s generally thinner. Both can be used in place of each other.

Why didn’t my puff pastry puff up?

Puff pastry need to be baked cold to puff up properly in the oven. It’s possible, your pastry was too warm when you baked it.

Why do you brush the top of the pastry with an egg wash?

This gives the pastry a nice golden colour when it’s baked.
