Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water
  • 2 cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries; fresh or frozen)
  • 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (like turbinado)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Add cold cubed butter and cut into flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two knives until coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits remain (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add 3 tablespoons ice water and mix gently; add more water if dough doesn’t come together.
  4. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract; toss gently to coat.
  6. Lightly flour surface and rolling pin; roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick.
  7. Transfer dough to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Pile berry mixture in center, leaving a 2-inch border; fold edges over filling in pleats, pressing gently.
  9. Brush exposed dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  10. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake galette for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles.
  11. If crust browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking.
  12. Let galette cool on baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Keep butter and water cold to ensure a flaky crust. Thaw and drain frozen berries before use to avoid soggy crust. Tent galette with foil if crust browns too quickly. Dough can be made and chilled up to 2 days ahead. For gluten-free crust, substitute almond or gluten-free flour. For vegan version, use coconut oil and flax egg.
