Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries (about 3 cups sliced) hulled and sliced
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1 egg beaten for egg wash
  • turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, vanilla bean paste, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss gently and let sit for about 10 minutes while you prepare the pastry.
  • Roll out the puff pastry slightly on the prepared baking sheet. Use a knife to score a 1 in border on all sides of the pastry dough.
  • Spoon the strawberry mixture into the center of the pastry. You can adjust the strawberries so that they lay in pleated straight lines, or just leave it rustic.
  • Brush the edges with egg wash and generously sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is deeply golden and puffed and the strawberries are bubbling.
  • Let cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm on its own or with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
