Puff Pastry 1 sheet
Mixed Berries 1 cup
Sugar 2 tablespoons
Cornstarch 1 tablespoon
Beaten Egg 1
Powdered Sugar Optional, for sprinkling

Take note
Be careful not to overstuff your danish with too many berries as it can result in a soggy pastry. Also, make sure to let the pastry cool before serving to avoid burning your tongue on the hot berries.

1

Prepare the Pastry

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out your puff pastry on a floured surface until it's about 1/4 inch thick. Using a knife, divide the pastry into 6 equal rectangles.

2

Make the Berry Filling

In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup of mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries), 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Gently mash the berries with a fork to release their juices.

3

Assemble the Danishes

Spoon a generous amount of the berry filling onto the center of each pastry rectangle. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, leaving the center exposed. Press down gently to seal the edges.

4

Bake to Perfection

Transfer the danishes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the exposed pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

5

Enjoy the Fruity Delight

Remove the danishes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top if desired. Serve warm and savor the delightful combination of buttery pastry and tangy mixed berries.
