Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla bean paste
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into flour using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  2. Slowly add 3 tablespoons ice water, stirring until dough starts to come together. Add remaining tablespoon if needed, but do not overhydrate. Dough should hold together but not be sticky.
  3. Shape dough into a flat disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Combine strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss gently and set aside to macerate.
  5. Roll chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a roughly 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick.
  6. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon berry filling into center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over fruit, pleating to form a rough circle.
  7. Brush dough edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  8. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly.
  9. While baking, whisk powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, milk, and salt until smooth and pourable.
  10. After baking and slight cooling, drizzle vanilla glaze over galette. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold for a flaky crust. Do not overwork dough to maintain texture. Use fresh ripe berries for best flavor; increase cornstarch if berries are very juicy. Let galette cool slightly before slicing for cleaner cuts. The vanilla glaze should be drizzled after baking to preserve flavor. Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 2 days. Frozen berries can be used with extra cornstarch. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute flour and butter accordingly.
