Instructions
a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Remove the puff pastry from your fridge and allow to come up to room temperature.
b) Zest and cut the lemon into wedges.
c) In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries and red berry compote.
d) Unroll the puff pastry, keeping the baking paper underneath. Slice once horizontally, then once vertically into 4 equal rectangles. Transfer the pastry with the baking paper to a baking tray.
a) On each pastry rectangle, spoon the berry mixture vertically in a long strip, just off-centre, leaving a 1cm gap at the top and bottom. Brush a little water along the sides of each rectangle.
b) To make your pies, fold the other side of the pastry lengthways over the filling. Press down lightly with a fork over the open seams to secure. Brush the top of each pie with a little water and sprinkle over half the sugar (see pantry for amount).
c) Make a few small slits across the top of the pastry to allow the steam to escape.
d) Bake on the middle shelf of the oven until puffed and golden, 12-15 mins. TIP: Rotate the baking tray halfway through baking to give your pies an even, golden colour.
a) Meanwhile, whisk the creme fraiche, lemon zest and the remaining sugar in a medium bowl until thick, 1-2 mins.
b) When baked, remove the pies from the oven and allow to cool slightly, 5-10 mins.
c) Serve the pies, warm or cold, with a dollop of lemon creme fraiche and the lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.
