Instructions
Lemon Curd:
- Preheat an oven to 350ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, heat the lemon juice, sugar, and butter together while whisking just until the butter melts. Have a heatproof bowl with a whisked egg in it ready.
- Pour 1/2 of the stove mixture into the bowl with the egg and whisk vigorously until combined.
- Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the lemon juice and heat on low while whisking until it is thick and reaches 180ºF
- Pour into a bowl and cover with clingfilm directly onto the surface until cooled.
Blueberry Jam:
- In a small saucepan (cleaned from lemon curd), heat blueberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon zest for five minutes until thick and saucy.
- Let cool
Turnover Assembly:
- On a clean floured cutting board, roll out puff pastry between 1/8-1/4 inch.
- Cut into 12 even squares with a sharp knife or pizza roller.
- Spoon 1 scant tablespoon of lemon curd into the bottom left corner of each square leaving a 1/4 inch border. Then spoon 1 heaping teaspoon of blueberry jam to the right of the lemon curd.
- Brush a small amount of water onto the border of each square and fold the empty side of the puff pastry square diagonally onto the other side.
- Seal each turnover fully with a fork in a crimping fashion. Cut a small slit on the top of each turnover with a pairing knife or kitchen shears. Brush the tops of the pastry with egg wash.
- Transfer each turnover onto the lined baking sheet and cover the top with a damp towel. Chill in the fridge for twenty minutes.
- Once chilled, bake for 15-20 minutes until dark golden brown.
