Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 34 tablespoons ice-cold water
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon milk or water
  • Optional toppings: coarse sugar for sprinkling on crust, whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar if using. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  2. Drizzle 3 tablespoons ice-cold water over mixture and stir gently to bring dough together. Add up to 1 more tablespoon water if needed. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Combine strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss gently to coat berries evenly.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Spoon berry mixture into center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges of dough over berries, pleating as needed to form a rustic circle with an open center.
  6. Optional: sprinkle coarse sugar on crust. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
  7. While baking, whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and milk or water until smooth to make glaze.
  8. After baking, let galette cool about 10 minutes, then drizzle lemon glaze over top. Let set a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

Keep everything cold to ensure a flaky crust. Do not overwork the dough. Use a mix of sweet and tart berries for best flavor. Chill dough before rolling. If edges brown too fast, tent with foil. Make glaze last minute and drizzle just before serving. Frozen berries should be thawed and drained to avoid soggy crust.
