A quick and easy rustic mixed berry galette featuring a flaky buttery crust and a zesty lemon-infused berry filling, perfect for a refreshing summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (155g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 8 tbsp (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3 to 4 tbsp ice water
  • 2 1/2 cups (350g) mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries), fresh or frozen
  • 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for brushing the crust)
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar or turbinado sugar (for sprinkling on top)
  • Honey or maple syrup, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces. Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until dough holds together. Avoid overworking.
  2. Chill the dough: Shape dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract (if using). Toss gently to coat.
  4. Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Assemble the galette: Spoon berry filling onto center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over berries, pleating as needed. Brush crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake galette for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles. Tent with foil if crust browns too fast.
  7. Cool and serve: Let galette cool at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally drizzled with honey or maple syrup.

Notes

Keep everything cold to ensure flaky crust. Do not overmix dough to avoid toughness. Use cornstarch to prevent soggy filling. Fold edges generously to hold filling. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly. Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen.
