Ingredients:
- For the Crust: 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, 4-6 tablespoons ice water.
- For the Filling: 2-3 cups of your favorite fruit (sliced or chopped), 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to sweetness of fruit), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or tapioca starch), 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional).
- For the Egg Wash (optional): 1 egg, 1 tablespoon milk or water.
- For Sprinkling (optional): Turbinado sugar.
Instructions:
- Make the Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together.
- Chill the Dough: Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the fruit, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon (if using).
- Assemble the Galette: On a lightly floured surface (use gluten-free flour), roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add the Filling: Arrange the fruit mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating as you go.
- Egg Wash & Sprinkle: Brush the crust with egg wash (if using) and sprinkle with turbinado sugar (if using).
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is tender.
- Cool & Enjoy: Let the galette cool slightly before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips & Variations:
- For a richer crust, use a blend of butter and shortening.
- Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts to the fruit filling for extra flavor and texture.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
