Mixed Berry Galette
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 3 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, toss together 3 cups of mixed berries, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until the berries are coated. Set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- Arrange the mixed berry filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed.
- Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle the turbinado sugar over the crust.
- Bake the galette for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. If the crust browns too quickly, tent the galette with foil.
- Allow the galette to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
The Mixed Berry Galette is a delightful French pastry that has gained popularity for its rustic charm and burst of fruity flavors. This free-form tart is believed to have originated in the French countryside, where it was traditionally made with whatever fruits were in season. Renowned chefs like Julia Child and Jacques Pépin have popularized this dessert in the culinary world, adding their own unique twists to the classic recipe. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in quaint patisseries in France, where local berries are used to create the perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors. The key to a delicious Mixed Berry Galette lies in the flaky, buttery crust and the vibrant medley of fresh berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
