Blueberry-Lemon Galette

Servings:eight.

Once summer rolls around, I make and freeze a few batches of this galette dough, so I can easily make a rustic tart with whatever in-season fruit I find at the farmers market. Want to improvise your own fruit tarts? Go toCreate Your Own Recipeto start building your own recipe now.

For the Dough:

  • 6-3/4 oz. (1-1/2 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. table salt
  • 5-1/2 oz. (11 Tbs.) cold, unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 3 Tbs. whole milk

For the Filling:

  • 4 cups blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbs. honey
  • 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 Tbs. all-purpose flour
  • Big pinch table salt
  • 1 large egg, beaten well
  • 2 Tbs. granulated sugar

Preparation

Make and Roll Out the Dough:

  • Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or if mixing by hand, in a medium bowl). Cut the butter into 1/2-inch cubes and add them to the flour. On low speed, mix the butter and flour until the flour is no longer white and holds together when you clump it with your fingers, 1 to 2 minutes. If there are still lumps of butter larger than the size of peas, break them up with your fingers. Run a spatula along the bottom of the bowl to loosen anything stuck to the bowl. (If mixing by hand, mix with a pastry cutter or two forks until the butter is mixed into the flour as above).
  • In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk and milk and add them to the flour mixture. On low speed, mix until the dough just comes together, about 15 seconds; the dough will be somewhat soft. (If mixing by hand, add the yolk mixture to the flour and mix gently with a fork until the liquid is well distributed. The dough will still look crumbly and dry.
  • Dump the dough onto a clean counter and work it with the heel of your hand, pushing and smearing it away from you and gathering it up with a bench scraper and repeating until the dough comes together and is pliable). Turn the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap, press it into a flat disk, wrap it in the plastic, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes (or up to four days) before rolling it out.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Line a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Remove the dough from the refrigerator; if the dough is very firm, let it sit at room temperature until it’s pliable enough to roll, 10 to 15 minutes. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a round that’s about 13 to 14 inches in diameter. It’s all right if the edges are a little ragged. If you can’t get a roughly round shape, trim the dough so that it’s a rough circle and roll the trimmed scraps back into the dough. Transfer the dough round to the baking sheet and put it in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Fill and Bake the Galette:

  • Put the blueberries in a large bowl. Toss the fruit with the 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Taste the fruit; if it’s more tart than you like, add up to 2 Tbs. more sugar. Add the lemon zest, honey, flour and salt, and toss until everything is evenly mixed.

  • 把面团从冰箱里,让它sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to keep it from cracking when you assemble the tart. Heap the fruit in the center of the dough round. Using your fingertips, fold the edges of the dough over some of the fruit to create a rim about 2 inches wide. Work your way all around, pleating the dough as you go.

  • Using a pastry brush, brush the pleated dough evenly with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the granulated sugar directly on the dough and fruit.

  • Bake the tart until the pleats of dough are completely golden brown without a trace of pale, unbaked dough, about 55 minutes. (It’s all right if some of the juices escape from the tart and seep onto the pan.) Transfer to a rack and let cool. The tart may be baked up to six hours ahead of serving. When cool enough to handle, use a spatula to transfer the tart to a serving plate or cutting board. Slice it and serve it warm or at room temperature.

    Made this last night for a get together and am making again tonight for another - it was that good! I admit, I used a store bought crust, but the filling is the perfect ratio of all ingredients. Served it with freshly whipped cream. Thinking this will become a staple in my recipe collection.

    We've made this at least a dozen times, and it never fails. I use 7oz of flour, but other than that leave the recipe unchanged. It's excellent with fresh-picked blueberries in the summer. Our friends have started requesting we bring the galette to dinner parties!

    Great recipe and great result! Crust is very forgiving. My blueberries were in season so I only needed half the sugar and also just used 1tsp of sugar to sprinkle on the egg wash at the end. I would make this again and again with whatever fruit is in season.
