Flaky Pie Crust
Galette Filling
Instructions
Flaky Pie Crust
Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse briefly.
Add butter and shortening in 3 parts, pulsing 5-6 times each time.
Mix vanilla with ice water. Add to dough 3 tablespoons at a time, pulsing briefly to combine. Add more ice water if needed.
Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Galette Filling
Press lemon zest and sugar together with your fingers in a large bowl until the sugar is moistened and resembles wet sand. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Add the blueberries, vanilla, lemon juice, salt, cornstarch, and cinnamon to the lemon sugar and gently toss together. Set aside.
Roll pie crust into a 14”-15” circle on a floured surface. Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet.
Spoon blueberry mixture over the crust, leaving a 2” border. Fold border over blueberries, pinching the edges to seal.
Dot blueberry filling with cubed butter. Chill galette for 20 minutes in the freezer.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Brush crust edges with egg wash, sprinkle with turbinado sugar, and bake for 15-18 minutes until just starting to turn golden.
Reduce heat to 375°F and bake for 15-22 additional minutes until crust is golden and blueberries are bubbling.
Let the galette cool completely on a wire rack.
Serve at room temperature or warm topped with ice cream!
Notes
- Servings: 10-12 depending on desired slice size.
- Storage: For best results, enjoy this galette on the day it's made, but can be stored covered at room temp for 2 days or in the fridge for 4 days.
Happy baking! ❤️
