Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g all-purpose flour (2 ¼ cup)
- 50 g granulated sugar (¼ cup)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 227 g unsalted butter (1 cup), cut into tablespoons, very cold
- 2 large egg yolks, cold
- 5 tablespoons ice water
- 350 g hulled strawberries
- 50 g granulated sugar (¼ cup)
- 12 g cornstarch (1 ½ tablespoon)
- pinch kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- turbinado sugar, as needed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
- Incorporate cold butter into the mixture using a pastry blender or two forks until you achieve a coarse, pebbly consistency.
- Pour in the egg yolks and ice water. Mix with a spatula until the mixture resembles a shaggy mess.
- Transfer the mixture to a clean surface and quickly knead until it forms a cohesive dough, being careful not to overwork it.
- Divide the dough into two equal pieces, flatten them into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Use one dough for this galette, and freeze the other for later use.
Notes
Keep your butter very cold for a flakier crust.
You can allow the dough to chill for up to 2 days if needed before using it.
This recipe yields two pie crusts; perfect for making two galettes or storing for later.
