Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (320g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 6–8 tbsp ice-cold water
  • 3 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen; blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry blender or food processor, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter (about 3-4 minutes). Chill in fridge if butter starts melting.
  2. Gradually drizzle in ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just starts to come together. Form into a flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, gently toss the mixed berries with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Let sit while rolling out dough.
  4. Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough into a rough 12-inch (30cm) circle about ⅛ inch (3mm) thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Spoon the berry filling into the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch (5cm) border. Fold the edges up over the filling, pleating to form a circle, leaving the center open.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush crust edges with beaten egg or milk for a golden finish. Bake for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and berry juices bubble.
  7. While galette cools slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Drizzle over warm galette before serving.

Notes

Keep butter and water cold for flaky crust. Do not overmix dough to avoid toughness. Chill dough before rolling. If crust edges brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Drain frozen berries to prevent soggy crust. Lemon glaze is best applied fresh before serving.
