Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- ¼ cup ice water
Filling:
- 2 cups mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Egg Wash:
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
Optional:
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Gently toss to coat the berries evenly.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon the berry mixture onto the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the berries, pleating as necessary, to create a rustic edge. Brush the crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow the galette to cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use cold, cubed butter for the crust to achieve a flaky texture.
- If using frozen berries, thaw and drain them well to prevent excess moisture.
- Roll the dough on parchment paper for easy transfer to the baking sheet.
- Brush the crust with an egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
- Allow the galette to cool before slicing to help the filling set.
