Mini Blueberry Galettes

These galettes are mini, rustic and filled with fresh blueberries. They’re a must for your summer baking list!

Who can resist a 2 lb flat of blueberries for $5? Definitely not me, I’ve bought 3 flats already and I’m heading back for more. We’re popping them like candy and eating them with everything.

Summer really is great, isn’t it?

We had a break in our heat wave last week and I had a hankering for these mini blueberry galettes. The recipe is an old favorite from the archives and with all the blueberries in our house I just couldn’t resist.

These little galettes are the perfect single serving summer pie. Serve them hot or at room temperature, for dessert or even an afternoon snack. (I confess I ate one for breakfast the next day. It was perfect.)

A scoop of vanilla ice cream is optional, though highly recommended.

Ingredients

 

½1x2x

For the crust:

• ▢ 1 cup unsalted butter , cold and cut into cubes (226 grams)
• ▢ 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (310 grams)
• ▢ 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• ▢ 1 teaspoon salt
• ▢ ½ cup + 1 tablespoon cold buttermilk

For the filling:

• ▢ 1 pound fresh blueberries (510 grams)
• ▢ ⅓ cup sugar (60 grams)
• ▢ 2 tablespoons cornstarch (20 grams)
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
• ▢ Zest of 1 lemon

For assembly:

• ▢ 1 egg , for egg wash
• ▢ Coarse or sanding sugar , for sprinkling

Instructions

 

To make the pie crust

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter and toss to coat the butter.
• Dump entire contents of the bowl out onto a well-floured surface. With a well-floured rolling pin, roll the mixture together, flattening the butter into the flour. Use a bench scraper to bring the mixture back together again as needed.
• When the butter is in long sheets and evenly distributed through the flour, return the mixture to the bowl and create a well in the center.
• Add the buttermilk stir to combine to make a shaggy dough. Add more buttermilk a tablespoon at a time, if necessary, but the mixture should be a little on the dry side.
• Dump the contents back onto your floured surface and divide into 6 disks. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight.

To make the galettes

• Preheat oven to 400°F and line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Combine the sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg and lemon zest in a bowl. Add the blueberries and toss to coat.
• Roll out each disk of pie dough into an 8 or 10 inch circle. It doesn’t need to be exact or even. Spoon ⅙ of the blueberry mixture into the center of each disk and fold the dough up and over the filling.
• Brush with the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle with the sanding sugar.
• Place the galettes on the prepared sheet pans and bake until crust is golden and the filling is bubbling, about 30-35 minutes, rotating the sheet pans halfway through.
• Serve warm or at room temperature. Store galettes in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
