Fruit Galette
- 1 13 cups/165 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon/15 grams sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon/3 grams fine sea salt
- 1 large egg
- Heavy cream, as needed
- 1 stick/113 grams unsalted butter, cut into big pieces
- 2 teaspoons/10 milliliters lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon/4 grams grated lemon zest (optional)
- 3 cups summer fruit of your choice (berries, stone fruit, figs), sliced or cubed if necessary
- 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup/100 to 150 grams sugar, to taste
- Pinch of salt
- Juice and grated zest of 1/2 lemon (optional)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons/25 to 35 grams cornstarch
- In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, or in a large bowl, pulse or mix together flour, sugar and salt.
- In a measuring cup, lightly beat the egg, then add just enough cream to get to 1/3 cup.
- Lightly whisk the egg and cream together.
- Add butter to flour mixture and pulse or use a pastry cutter or your fingers to break up the butter.
- If using a food processor, do not over-process; you need chickpea-size chunks of butter.
- Drizzle the egg mixture (up to 1/4 cup) over the dough and pulse or stir until it just starts to come together but is still mostly large crumbs.
- Mix in lemon juice and zest if using.
- Put dough on lightly floured counter and pat it together to make one uniform piece.
- Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic and chill for 2 hours, or up to 3 days.
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Roll the dough out to a 12-inch round (it can be ragged).
- Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill while preparing the filling.
