Ingredients

• For the crust:
• - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• - 1/2 teaspoon salt
• - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
• - 2-4 tablespoons ice water
• For the filling:
• - 2 cups mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
• - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• - 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
• - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• For the glaze:
• - 1 egg, beaten
• - 1 tablespoon milk
• - 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (optional)

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar for the crust. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract for the filling. Toss until the berries are evenly coated.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Spoon the berry filling onto the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary.
7. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk for the glaze. Brush the edges of the galette with the glaze.
8. Optional: Sprinkle the edges with turbinado sugar for a touch of sweetness and crunch.
9. Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
