This fruity galette is a delicious and relatively easy dessert to make. It serves at least 6 people and topped with a scoop of ice cream it's a standout dessert for a dinner party or special meal.
Galettes have all the flavor of a traditional pie but are much more forgiving to make. You don't have to be as finicky with the dough and fit it into a pie plate - it's much more free form!
Even though this recipe takes two and a half hours to make, it isn't all hands-on time. In fact, most of it is spent on chilling the dough and baking the galette.
Ingredients
- Frozen or Fresh Blueberries
- Frozen or Fresh Blackberries
- All Purpose Flour
- Salt
- Granulated Sugar
- Chilled Butter
- Ice Water

Instructions
Combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor. Pulse to combine.

Add the water gradually and pulse to combine, until the dough sticks together and forms a ball.
Cover the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. (Can be kept up to two days).
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 C).
Combine the blueberries, blackberries, sugar, corn starch, and lemon juice in a large bowl.
Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle, to about ¼ inch thickness.

Tips for Making this Recipe
Preparation Tips - Making the dough in a food processor is super quick, but be careful not to overwork it and blend it for long periods of time. Use the pulse button if that's an option on your machine.
Seasonal Ingredients - You can use fresh or frozen berries for this recipe. Blackberries and blueberries are in season from May through September. If you are making this out of season, I'd recommend using frozen berries.
Alternative Tools - If you don't have a food processor, there are notes in the recipe card for making it with a pastry cutter.
