Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) Cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 4-6 tablespoons Ice water
  • 4 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Milk or cream
  • 1 tablespoon Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Making the Galette Dough

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preparing the Berry Filling

In a large bowl, gently combine the mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Toss to coat evenly. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the berries to release their juices.

Assembling the Galette

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the berry filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go.

Baking the Galette

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk or cream. Brush the egg wash over the crust and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let the galette cool slightly before serving.
