Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g all-purpose flour (2 ¼ cup)
- 50 g granulated sugar (¼ cup)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 227 g unsalted butter (1 cup), cut into tablespoons, very cold
- 2 large egg yolks, cold
- 5 tablespoons ice water
- 350 g hulled strawberries
- 50 g granulated sugar (¼ cup)
- 12 g cornstarch (1 ½ tablespoon)
- pinch kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- turbinado sugar, as needed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse, pebbled sand.
- Incorporate the egg yolks and ice water, mixing with a spatula until the mixture appears shaggy or like scrambled eggs.
- Transfer the mixture to a clean surface or remain in the mixing bowl, and gently knead until a cohesive dough forms, kneading just until it comes together.
- Divide the dough into two portions, flatten them into disks, wrap in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or store for up to 2 days.
- Use one portion for the galette and freeze the other for future use.
Notes
Ensure the butter is very cold for the best texture in the crust.
You can substitute other fruits if strawberries are not available, such as blueberries or peaches.
This recipe makes enough dough for two galettes—save one for later!
