Description
A rustic, free-form tart filled with sweet blueberries and served with a simple vanilla cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 4–6 tablespoons ice water
- 3 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, gently toss blueberries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle.
- Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spoon the blueberry mixture onto the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Dot the blueberries with the small pieces of butter.
- Fold the dough border up and over the edges of the filling, pleating as needed to create a rustic crust.
- Brush the folded dough with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- While the galette cools, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Serve slices of the warm galette with a dollop of vanilla cream.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, you can brush the bottom of the galette with a little melted butter before adding the filling.
- If you don’t have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen ones. Thaw them first and drain any excess liquid.
- Adjust the sugar in the filling based on the sweetness of your blueberries.
