I visited my parents today and being the old fashioned German folks that they are she almost panicked when she realized she did not have anything to go with afternoon coffee. Now normally she would be prepared but she has had to deal with cancer and Chemo therapy lately so she has not had the energy to do all she used too.
Being the good baker son that I am =) I asked what she had in the freezer. We found some puff pastry dough and some frozen blueberries. I decided to make a blueberry Strudel, here is what I did.
I did a quick thaw of the pastry dough and layed it out. I brushed the edges with some egg. Then I took the blueberries and tossed them in some sugar and cornstarch ( which I didn't measure ) and placed them in the middle of the puff pastry dough and folded one side over to the other side and pinched the dough down to seal the edges. With a good sharp paring knife I cut slits along the top and brushed the top with egg and sprinkled it with sugar. Bake it in a 390*F oven for about 30 minutes.
Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream and wow.
Mom and Dad were very happy to have such a delicious pastry for afternoon coffee.
