Jane’s Bumbleberry Galette
A scrumptious pastry from Jane's On The Common.
Ingredients
- Pastry
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter, Soft
- 1/4 cup Cold Water
- 2 tbsp White Vinegar
- Filling
- 7 cups Mixed Berries
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Nova Scotia Blueberry Juice
- 1 tbsp Corn Starch
- 2 tbsp Cold Water
- Glaze
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 tbsp Milk
- 1 tsp Course Sugar
Instructions
- For the pastry:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
- Cut in butter by hand, by gently rubbing together until loosely incorporated.
- Mix together water and vinegar and sprinkle just enough into flour mixture to gather it into a dough.
- Form into a ball and wrap with plastic.
- Chill for approx. 30 minutes.
- Now for the filling:
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Measure out berries, sugar and juice into a stainless steel pot.
- Set over medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Cook just until fruit has softened.
- In a cup, whisk together cornstarch and cold water.
- Whisk this slurry into berries.
- Cook mixture for 2 minutes or until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Now for the glaze:
- Divide pastry into 6 equal portions.
- Working on a floured surface, roll dough out into 6 inch circles.
- Set each out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Divide berry mixture into the center of each round (leaving some outer).
- Pick up and pull in the edges of dough, pleating and pinching as you go along.
- Whisk together egg yolk and milk.
- Brush the pastry edges with the egg mixture and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake until pastry is golden (around 20 minutes).
