Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • ¼ cup (60ml) ice water, plus extra if needed
  • 2 cups (300g) mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries – fresh or frozen, thawed and drained if frozen)
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling on crust
  • Vanilla ice cream (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fingertips to mix until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter visible.
  2. Slowly pour in ice water, mixing gently until dough just starts to come together. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat berries evenly.
  4. Remove dough from fridge and lightly flour work surface. Roll dough into a rough 12-inch circle about ⅛ inch thick. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Spoon berry mixture onto center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges of dough over berries, pleating as needed. Sprinkle crust with optional coarse sugar.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake galette for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and berries are bubbling. Tent edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  7. Let galette cool on wire rack for about 15 minutes. Serve warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure a flaky crust. Avoid overworking dough to prevent toughness. Use cornstarch to thicken berry juices and prevent soggy crust. Tent edges with foil if browning too fast. Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen.
