Tip
Previous tipA lattice pattern can be created by topping the Puff Pastry with a metal cooling rack, then turning it at a right angle halfway through the baking.
When cutting Puff Pastry, the sharper the knife or pastry cutter, the better. A dull edge can cement layers together and prevent pastry from rising.
To create a tart with an extra puffy crust: take a knife and score two lines around the edge, then prick the area inside this border with a fork.
Puff Pastry can be stored in the freezer in the original packaging for up to 6 months.

Recipe
Ingredients
-
1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed
-
1/2 cup sugar
-
8 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and/or blackberries)
-
1 tbsp. finely grated lemon zest
-
3 tbsp. cornstarch
-
3 tbsp. water
-
Vanilla ice cream
Directions
-
Heat the oven to 400°F.
-
Sprinkle the work surface with 2 tablespoons sugar. Unfold the pastry sheet onto the sugar. Roll the pastry sheet into a 10 x 9-inch rectangle. Cut into 8 (4 1/2x2 1/2-inch) rectangles.
-
Stir the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Heat the berries, lemon zest and remaining sugar in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch mixture. Cook and stir for 5 minutes or until mixture boils and thickens. Spoon the berry mixture into a 3-quart shallow baking dish. Top the berry mixture with the pastry rectangles, sugar-side up, but not touching.
-
Bake for 20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Let the cobbler cool in the baking dish on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve with the ice cream.

"You forgot to put the puff pastry in the ingredients list. How may sheets do you need? I didn't make it but you need to read your recipe before you post it!!!!!!!"

"I have not made the recipe yet. But, from the directions and the picture I couldn't tell how many pastery sheets to use or what it is supposed to look like when finished... Please redo the directions and tell us how many sheets of pastry and how gorgeous it will look when done. I sell fruit at a farmers market on the weekends and am always looking for new recipes for berries and fruit deserts."

"I keep writing to PF about this recipe. First they left off the Pastry Sheet quantity in the ingredients. Now they told me they fixed it and it says "1/2 cup of a 17.3 oz pkg of pastry sheets. HUH????"

"You do not tell how much sugar to use. I guessed at 1/2 cup...so I am not sure if it was 'right' or not. It was easy, everyone liked it. You just need to review a recipe before posting it."

"Kind of a new spin on the basic "cobbler" idea.....very tasty, well, there was none leftover, did anyone notice that the puff pastry is missing in the ingredients list??? I guess we are supposed to assume that either puff pastry or pastry shells are being used in the recipe.....Overall, berry berry good...... ;)"

"The Puff Pastry was omitted from the recipe at first but now there is 1/2 cup of it. Also what is the baking sheet used for when the cobbler is baked in a 13" x 9" pan?"
