Description
A warm galette featuring sweet blackberries and a hint of lavender, perfect for weeknight baking or family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 8 tbsp (113 g) unsalted butter, very cold, cut into small cubes
- 3–4 tbsp ice water
- 3 cups fresh or frozen blackberries (about 400 g)
- 1/3 cup (67 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (or 1 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour)
- 1/2 tsp dried culinary lavender, gently crushed
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash) or milk for a vegan option
- 1–2 tbsp coarse sugar or extra granulated sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add cold butter cubes and cut in until pea-sized crumbs form.
- Sprinkle 3 tablespoons ice water over the mix and stir gently. Form into a rough disk, wrap, and chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, toss blackberries with sugar, cornstarch, crushed lavender, lemon zest, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Let sit to draw out juices.
- Roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to the parchment-lined sheet.
- Spoon berry mix into the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over berries in pleats and press gently to seal.
- Brush crust with beaten egg or milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 35–45 minutes, until crust is deep golden and juices bubble.
- Let cool on the sheet for 15–20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Use unsalted butter to control salt. If using frozen berries, do not thaw completely to avoid a runny filling.
