Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
Crust Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup butter, cold 1 stick
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, cold or ice water
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp quality balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Remove the stems from your strawberries and slice them thinly.Add them to a small mixing bowl and toss with sugar, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar. Allow to rest to the side while you make the crust. This is called macerating!
- Make the crust by dicing up the butter and add it to a bowl with the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your clean hands, work the butter into the crust quickly so you don't warm the butter too much. You want the mixture to be crumbly with pea-sized bits of butter or smaller.
- Mix in the orange juice and apple cider vinegar with a wooden spoon until it comes together.
- Generously flour a countertop surface and roll out the dough into a thin circle. It can be as rustic as you want. Galettes are not about perfection! It should be roughly 1/8 inch thick.
- Strain the strawberries and add them to the center of the galette, keeping about 2 inches clear around the edges. Bring the edges up and over the sides to make that classic galette shape.
- Slide the galette onto parchment paper and onto a baking sheet. Pop the whole thing in the fridge or freezer while you preheat your oven.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Mix one egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash on the top of the crust and dust with raw dermerra sugar.
- Bake the cold galette for about 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow to fully cool and congeal. Enjoy with freshly made whipped cream!
