Mini strawberry galettes

These galettes so damn delicious! They are so much easier to make than a pie, because there is less perfection required. Complete with a juicy berry filling, flaky golden pie crust, and crunchy coarse sugar on top (optional but so good), these mini galettes will be the superstars of your summer!

Method

  1. Mix the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Dice the cold butter. Chop with a knife with flour to the state of fine crumbs. Add the yolk and mix.
  2. Mix very cold water with alcohol and vinegar. Gradually add the cold water to the flour, stirring with a spatula or a wooden spoon until the dough gathers into lumps. Transfer to a floured work surface and quickly knead the dough, shape a ball.
  3. Next, divide the dough into ten parts. Cover with film and leave in the fridge for 2 hours.
  4. For the filling, mix the berries, sugar and cornstarch.
  5. Preheat the oven to 365F (185C). Roll each piece of dough into a circle. Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Place 2-3 tablespoons of strawberry filling in the center of each circle of dough. Bend the edges of the dough to the center .
  6. Brush the edges of the folded dough with a beaten egg, and sprinkle a little sugar.
  7. Bake the galettes until golden (for 30-40 minutes).
  8. Take the galettes out of the oven, and cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

These galettes are also delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
