For the Pastry:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces cold, unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup ice cold water
For the Blueberry Filling:
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
For Finishing:
- 1 egg
- Turbinado sugar, for garnish
Instructions
- In a food processor with a pastry blade, pulse the flour, sugar and salt. Cut in the cold, unsalted butter until the ingredients form course crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, continuing to pulse until the course crumbs form a dough. The dough should be smooth, not sticky or runny. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray the parchment with olive oil spray. In a separate bowl, mix the blueberries, cinnamon, sugar and cornstarch and set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface roll out the chilled pastry dough and knead it several times, adding more flour as needed. Roll out the dough into a circle that is about 1/8 inch thick. Remember, it doesn’t have to be perfect—that’s part of the fun of this recipe.
- Transfer the dough from the lightly floured surface to the baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently add the blueberry mixture to the center of the pastry, making sure to leave a small border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, one side at a time.
- Make an egg wash with a beaten egg and gently brush it over the top sides of the pastry dough.
- Bake the galette for 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- When the pastry has finished baking in the oven, gently transfer the galette on the parchment paper from the baking sheet to a cooling rack. Let the galette cool for about 10 minutes before serving and savoring.
- Savor the simplicity of this Rustic Blueberry Galette!
