This mix gives your crust the right flavor and texture. - Incorporating butter into the mixture: Next, add ½ cup of cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips.

On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cutter or a plate to cut out 5-inch circles. - Filling and shaping the galettes: Place a generous tablespoon of the berry filling at the center of each dough circle. Fold the edges up towards the center, creating a rustic look while leaving the center open. Pinch the edges to hold. - Applying egg wash and sprinkling sugar: Brush each galette's surface with a beaten egg. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top for extra sweetness and a nice crunch.

Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

4-5 tablespoons ice-cold water

1 cup mixed summer berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and diced strawberries)

2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for the berry filling)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar until evenly combined. Add the cubed cold butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.

    Add Ice Water: Gradually add the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork after each addition until the dough begins to come together. Once the dough is formed, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow it to chill and firm up.

      Prepare the Filling: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Gently toss the berries until they are thoroughly coated in the mixture, being careful not to crush the berries. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

        Roll Out the Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to approximately 1/8 inch thick. Using a round cutter or a plate, cut the dough into circles about 5 inches in diameter.

          Assembly: On each dough circle, place a generous tablespoon of the berry filling in the center. Gently fold the edges of the dough up toward the center, creating a rustic edge around the filling while leaving the center exposed. Pinch the edges together to secure them.

            Egg Wash: Brush the surface of each galette with the beaten egg using a pastry brush. Sprinkle a light layer of turbinado sugar over the top of each galette to enhance the sweetness and create a delightful crunch after baking.

              Bake: Arrange the prepared galettes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for expansion. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the galettes are golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the galettes from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, savoring every bite of these delightful treats.
