I always have a packet of ready rolled puff pastry and a packet of frozen blueberries in my freezer, so it goes without saying that I can whip this dessert up during any emergency! Just as delicious with any type of berry if you don't have blueberries. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients:

1 sheet ready rolled puff pastry, just thawed

1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

1/4 cup white sugar

1 1/2 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)

1 tbsp lemon juice

pinch of salt

1 egg, lightly beaten

Method:

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F) and grease and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Place the pastry on the tray.
Fold a 1cm (1/2 inch) edge all the way around the pastry, then prick the pastry all over using a fork, avoiding the edges.
Gently mix the blueberries, sugar, cornflour, lemon juice and salt in a bowl until combined.
Tip the berry mixture onto the pastry and spread out evenly, avoiding the edges.
Brush the pastry edges with the egg.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Rest for 10 minutes, then serve.
