It's always useful to keep a pack of puff pastry in your fridge or freezer so that you can make fantastic, easy or last-minute treats, snacks or party food. These grape & fig turnovers take very little time & effort to prepare, yet they taste fantastic. Perfect for afternoon tea, breakfast, brunch, picnics & parties.

Ingredients

1 pack ready rolled puff pastry
2 Tbsp sugar
½ tsp lemon zest
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp flour
1 egg
1 cup chopped figs (about 4 pieces)
½ cup of grapes, each cut in half

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Separate the egg into two small bowls.
Wash and wipe the fruits then chop them into 1 cm pieces. Mix the cinnamon, flour, lemon zest and sugar, then add to the fruits. Combine well.
Unpack and roll out the pastry, then cut it into 10-12 cm squares.
Make an imaginary line between two opposite corners across the squares - you're going to fold them into a triangle shape along this line.
Whip the egg white slightly, then brush the edges of the squares with this.
Add 1-2 spoonful of the sugared fruit mixture onto one side of your imaginary line. Fold the pastry in half to create the triangle shape, and press the edges together.
Place the turnovers onto a lined baking tray and brush with the beaten egg yolk.
Bake for about 20 minutes until golden.
Let them cool on a wire rack.
