Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients
  

For the crust:

  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 3 –4 tablespoons ice water

For the blueberry filling:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 –2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger or 1 tablespoon finely chopped candied ginger
  • Pinch of salt

For assembly:

  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar optional

Instructions
 

Make the crust

  • In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough holds together. Shape into a disk, wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make the filling

  • In a medium bowl, mix blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, grated ginger, and salt. Set aside.

Roll the dough

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Assemble the galette

  • Spoon the blueberry filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges over the filling, pleating gently to hold the shape. Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

Bake

  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes
