Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

  • 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter chilled and cubed
  • 5 to 6 tablespoons ice water add more if needed

For the Blueberry Filling:

  • 4 cups fresh blueberries rinsed and well-drained
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest from 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

For Assembly:

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon coarse turbinado sugar
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter diced
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

  • In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse to mix.
  • Add the chilled butter and pulse 8–10 times until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs.
  • Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition until the dough begins to clump together.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.

Preheat and Roll Out:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a work surface.
  • Roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Transfer the dough (on the parchment paper) to a rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

Make the Filling:

  • In a bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, flour, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir until the flour is fully incorporated and the mixture looks slightly syrupy.

Assemble the Galette:

  • Spoon the blueberry filling onto the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching together any overlaps to seal. Patch any cracks to avoid leaks.
  • Brush the folded crust edges with a mixture of beaten egg and water, then sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Dot the blueberries with diced butter.

Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25–28 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the blueberry juices are bubbling.
  • Let the galette cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Serve:

  • Optionally, serve the galette warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • If your blueberries are particularly sweet, reduce the sugar in the filling to ¼ cup.
  • Don’t skip chilling the dough; it ensures a flaky crust by keeping the butter solid until baking.
  • If you lack a food processor, you can use a pastry blender and mix by hand.
