Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
½ tsp salt
½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
3–4 tbsp ice water
For the Blueberry Filling:
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
¼ cup sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch (or flour)
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For Assembly:
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Make the Crust
In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, and salt.
Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add ice water 1 tbsp at a time until the dough holds together when pressed.
Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
Make the Filling
In a bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, juice, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to coat.
Assemble the Galette
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spoon the blueberry mixture into the center, leaving a 2-inch border.
Fold the edges over the filling, pleating as you go.
Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
Bake & Cool
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
Let cool slightly before slicing.
Tips and Tricks
Cold butter is key to having a flaky crust – so make sure that you don’t skip chilling the dough.
Make sure not to overfill the galette as the juices may overflow.
Use a baking sheet or parchment paper to catch any drips from the bubbling fruit.
