Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 2 cups mixed berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Shape it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a separate bowl, toss the mixed berries with sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle. Transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Arrange the berry mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling.
- Bake the galette for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Let it cool slightly before serving.
