Description
This mixed berry galette features a flaky, buttery crust filled with fresh or frozen berries and sweet-tart lemon. A rustic, no-fuss dessert perfect for summer evenings. Quick to make and customizable with seasonal fruit.
Ingredients
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold, cubed unsalted butter
4 tablespoons cold water, plus extra
3 cups fresh or frozen berries
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add cold butter cubes; use a pastry cutter or hands to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually mix in cold water until the dough forms a shaggy ball.
Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Combine berries, cornstarch, brown sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Spread mixture over the dough center, leaving a 2-inch border.
Fold edges of the dough inward, sealing loosely to form a rustic galette shape.
Chill on baking sheet for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake 35–40 minutes until golden and bubbling. Cool before serving.
Notes
Use bread flour for a chewier crust.
Coconut sugar works as a granulated sugar substitute.
Flaky sea salt enhances crust texture.
Coconut oil replaces butter for a vegan version.
Milk or non-dairy milk can substitute for water.
Use frozen berries (no need to thaw) for convenience.
Cornstarch prevents sogginess; replace with wheat flour if unavailable.
Store-bought pie dough works well—keep it chilled.
Tested with raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries.
Lemon zest may be added for extra brightness.
