These yummy turnovers are so easy to make they may well become your favorite homemade breakfast treat.

Ingredients: (Makes 8)

• 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) pack frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 115 g (4 oz) blackberry jam
• 280 g (10 oz) fresh blackberries
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Method:

Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas mark 5.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 block of puff pastry 0.5 cm (¼ in) thick, 30 cm (12 in) square. Using a sharp knife, cut the square into four 15-cm (6-in) squares. Repeat the step with the second block of puff pastry. One pack of puff pastry should yield 8 squares.

In a large bowl, combine the blackberry jam and fresh blackberries. Using a pastry brush, glaze the edges of the pastry squares with water. Spoon 4 tablespoons filling onto the center of each square and fold each one in half, diagonally, to form a triangle. Press the edges to seal and crimp with a fork. Glaze the tops with egg and sprinkle with sugar. Make 2 to 3 slits in the top of each.

Place the turnovers on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 25 minutes, until the filling is hot and the crust is golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
