Description
A rustic, free-form blueberry galette with a flaky crust and juicy berry filling – simpler than pie but just as delicious, perfect for summer baking.
Ingredients
- 4 cups blueberries (washed and dried)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 3 tbsp raw sugar
- 1 egg (whisked)
Instructions
Step 1: Making the Crust
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Grate 8 tbsp of very cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture. Toss gently to combine.
- Chef’s Tip: Make sure the butter stays cold for a flaky crust. You can even freeze it before grating!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 tbsp of icy water, and 1 tsp of white vinegar.
- Add the liquid ingredients to the flour mixture, stirring until it forms a shaggy dough. If it’s too dry, add a splash more cold water.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare for Baking
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a sheet of parchment paper, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect; rustic is the name of the game!
- Ideal Timing: Rolling should take about 5-10 minutes.
Step 3: Prepare the Filling
- In a medium bowl, gently toss 4 cups of blueberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tbsp cornstarch until evenly mixed.
- A dash of lemon juice and zest would add delightful brightness!
Step 4: Assemble the Galette
- Dump the blueberry mixture in the center of your rolled dough, leaving about 2 inches of crust around the edges.
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, overlapping slightly.
- Brush the outer crust with the whisked egg and sprinkle with 3 tbsp raw sugar for sweetness and crunch.
Step 5: Bake It Up!
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is a lovely golden brown.
- Keep an eye on it! You want those blueberries to be bright and jammy, with a crust that’s perfectly baked to a crisp.
Step 6: Slice and Serve
- Allow your Easy Blueberry Galette to cool slightly before slicing. Dig in and enjoy the deliciousness!
