Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 8 tablespoons (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice-cold water
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh blueberries
  • ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into flour using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  2. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of ice-cold water over the mixture and gently mix until dough just starts to come together. Add remaining tablespoon if needed. Form dough into a flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While dough chills, mix blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir gently and set aside.
  4. Lightly flour work surface and rolling pin. Roll dough into a roughly 12-inch circle about ⅛-inch thick. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Spoon blueberry filling into center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges of dough over filling, pleating as needed, leaving center exposed.
  6. Brush dough edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  7. Bake in preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles. Cover edges with foil if browning too fast.
  8. Let galette cool on baking sheet for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Keep butter and water cold to ensure flakiness. Do not overwork the dough to maintain pea-sized butter chunks. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling. If edges brown too quickly, cover with foil. Let galette cool before slicing to allow filling to thicken. Frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained well.
