A Blueberry Galette is a rustic, free-form pastry filled with juicy, sweet blueberries and wrapped in a flaky, golden crust. Easier than pie, it’s the perfect dessert for showcasing fresh or frozen berries.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3–5 tbsp ice water
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or flour
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add ice water 1 tbsp at a time, mixing just until dough forms. Form into a disk, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Roll out dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to baking sheet.
  6. Spoon blueberry mixture into the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over the filling.
  7. Brush crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use extra cornstarch if using frozen berries to reduce excess moisture.
  • Don’t overfill the center to avoid leaking while baking.
  • Chilling the dough helps keep it flaky and easy to work with.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic finish.
