2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
3 None eggs
1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups mixed berries
1 None egg white, lightly beaten
1 tbsp powdered sugar

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a 12 x 10-inch baking pan.
2

Roll 1 pastry sheet until it's large enough to cover the bottom of the pan, extending the pastry halfway up the sides. Prick the pastry with fork at 3/4 inch interval. Freeze for 5 mins.
3

Place another baking pan on top of the pastry. Bake for 5 mins. Remove the top pan. Bake for a further 5 mins or until the pastry is lightly browned. Cool for 5 mins.
4

Meanwhile, beat the eggs and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until thick and creamy. Fold in the sifted flour. Spread the mixture evenly over the pastry. Sprinkle evenly with berries.
5

Roll the remaining pastry sheet large enough to fit the pan. Place it over the berries. Brush the pastry with egg white then sprinkle with remaining 1 tbsp sugar. Score pastry in a crosshatch pattern.

Bake for about 20 mins. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Dust with sifted powdered sugar then cut into squares.
