Lemon Blueberry Galette
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 6 tablespoons ice water, or as needed
  • 1 pound fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 tablespoon demerara sugar
Instructions
1
Gather all necessary ingredients before commencing the recipe.
2
Combine flour, cornmeal, and salt in a bowl using a pastry blender to mix the ingredients until they form coarse crumbs.
3
Gradually add cold butter to the bowl, blending it with the pastry blender until a coarse mixture is achieved.
4
Add cold water to the bowl, stirring it in with a fork as you go, until the dough comes together and forms a cohesive mass.
5
Transfer the dough to a work surface and use your hands to bring it together, pressing it into a flat disk shape.
6
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for approximately 30 minutes to allow it to chill.
7
Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
8
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat to prevent the pastry from sticking.
9
Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch in a bowl to create the filling.
10
Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 15-inch circle, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
11
Place the blueberry filling in the center of the dough, leaving a border around the edges that is 3 to 4 inches wide.
12
Fold the dough up and around the berries, rotating it a few inches as you go, then make another fold, overlapping the first one; repeat this process around the dough until pleats are formed.
13
Combine beaten egg and water in a small bowl to create a glaze, then brush it onto the dough.
14
Sprinkle demerara sugar over the top of the pastry for added flavor and texture.
15
Bake the pastry in the center of the preheated oven until it is golden brown, approximately 45 minutes.
16
Serve and enjoy your finished pastry!
