Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients for Galette Dough:

1¼ cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

2 large eggs, divided

1 tablespoon ice water

Ingredients for Blueberry Filling:

2 cups fresh blueberries

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Pinch of salt


Instructions

Whisk together flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt and in medium bowl.

Add cold butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-size pieces of butter.

Stir in one egg.

Add ice water, mixing gently until the dough begins to come together.

Form the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt in a medium bowl.

Toss gently to coat and set aside while you roll the dough.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle, about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Spoon the blueberry filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.

Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating as you go to create a rustic border.

Beat remaining egg. Brush the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden.

Allow the galette to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.


Notes

Keep butter cold for a flaky, tender crust. If the dough softens while working, chill for 10–15 minutes before baking.

Chilling the dough is essential for structure and prevents shrinking during baking.

Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of your blueberries. Add more for tart berries, less for sweet ones.

If berries are very juicy, add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch to help thicken the filling.

The galette is meant to look rustic—don’t worry about perfectly even folds.

Bake until the crust is deeply golden to ensure the bottom is fully cooked.

Allow the galette to cool at least 30 minutes before slicing so the filling can set.

Sprinkle coarse sugar over the crust before baking for added texture and sparkle.
