Description
A sunny, jammy blueberry galette wrapped in a crisp, tender crust that feels like summer on a plate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled for accuracy)
- 1/4 cup fine cornmeal (adds gentle crunch to the crust)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for lightly sweetening the dough)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (to balance sweetness)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (very cold and cut into cubes)
- 1/4 cup buttermilk (well chilled to keep dough flaky)
- 4 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen and kept frozen)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for sweetening the fruit)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (to thicken the juices)
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest (finely grated for aroma)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed for brightness)
- 1 large egg (beaten for brushing the crust)
- 1 tablespoon milk (mixed with egg for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional for a crunchy finish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- Work the cold butter into the mixture using a pastry cutter or forks until it looks like small, uneven crumbs.
- Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir just until the dough starts to clump, adding a little more if it seems too dry.
- Turn the shaggy dough onto a lightly floured surface, gather it into a ball, flatten into a thick disc, wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Shortly before rolling the dough, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a large bowl and gently toss until coated.
- Place the filling in the refrigerator while you prepare the crust so the berries stay firm and not overly juicy.
- Heat the oven to 425°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
- Roll the cold dough on a floured surface into a rough 12 to 14-inch circle, then transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon the blueberry mixture into the center, leaving a wide border, and fold the edges over the fruit, overlapping as needed to enclose it.
- Brush the folded edges with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
- Bake until the crust is deeply golden and the filling is bubbling, about 28 to 32 minutes.
- Let the galette rest on the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
