How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get to the fun part—making this delicious galette!

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
2. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix!
3. Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, gently toss the blackberries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle.
7. Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
8. Spoon the blackberry filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
9. Fold the dough border up and over the edges of the filling, pleating as you go.
10. Brush the folded pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
12. Let the galette cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

• Don’t skip the chilling step for the dough; it’s crucial for the best results.
• Feel free to mix in other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a mixed berry galette!
• If you want to add a little extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the blackberry filling.
