Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (for crust)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 to 4 tbsp ice water
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • ½ cup (75g) fresh raspberries
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
  • ½ tsp lemon zest (for glaze)
  • 1 tsp milk or cream (optional, for glaze consistency)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1 tbsp sugar, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut the butter into the flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits (3-5 minutes). If butter melts, chill dough in fridge for 10 minutes.
  2. Gradually add 3 to 4 tbsp ice water, stirring with a fork until dough clumps together but is not sticky. Form dough into a flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Combine blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, ¼ cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss gently and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  4. On a lightly floured surface or between parchment sheets, roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about ⅛ inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Spoon berry filling into center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over filling, pleating to create a rustic crust edge. Optionally brush crust with milk or beaten egg for golden finish.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake galette for 30-35 minutes until crust is golden and berries are bubbling. Cover edges with foil halfway through if browning too fast.
  7. While galette cools for 15 minutes, whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and milk or cream until smooth. Drizzle glaze over warm galette before serving.

Notes

Keep all ingredients cold to ensure a flaky crust. Use cornstarch to prevent soggy filling. Chill dough before rolling and baking. Cover crust edges with foil if browning too quickly. Let galette cool slightly before glazing to prevent glaze from melting off. Dough can be made ahead and chilled up to 24 hours. Frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained.
