For the best results, ensure all your ingredients are as cold as possible, especially the butter and water. This will help create a flaky and tender crust. Don't worry about making the galette perfectly round; its rustic charm is part of its appeal. Feel free to experiment with different fruits and spices in the filling. Peaches, raspberries, or apples would all be delicious alternatives. If the crust starts to brown too quickly during baking, you can tent it with foil to prevent burning.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, and salt. (2 minutes)
03
Step
8 mins
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Some small pieces of butter should remain. (8 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Gradually drizzle in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork after each addition. Continue until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough. (5 minutes)
05
Step
30 mins
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently form it into a disk. Wrap the disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and the butter to firm up. (30 minutes chilling time)
06
Step
10 mins
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. (10 minutes)
07
Step
5 mins
In a medium bowl, gently combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch. Stir until the blueberries are evenly coated. (5 minutes)
08
Step
8 mins
Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 15-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. (8 minutes)
09
Step
2 mins
Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet. (2 minutes)
10
Step
5 mins
Spoon the blueberry filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 3 to 4-inch border around the edge. (5 minutes)
11
Step
10 mins
Gently fold the edges of the dough over the blueberry filling, overlapping the folds to create pleats. (10 minutes)
12
Step
3 mins
In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the folded dough. (3 minutes)
13
Step
1 mins
Sprinkle the demerara sugar evenly over the egg-washed dough. (1 minute)
14
Step
45 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling. (40-45 minutes baking time)
15
Step
15 mins
Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring it to a serving platter. (15 minutes cooling time)
16
Step
2 mins
Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy! (2 minutes)
