Blackberry Gingerbread Galette
- For the Dough:
- 1 cup Crisco
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 5 cups AP flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- For the filling:
- 3 cups fresh blackberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon crystallized ginger, minced or 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- Pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons corn starch
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon cream or half-and-half
- In a large bowl, cream shortening with brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground ginger until fluffy.
- Beat in corn syrup and eggs until well blended.
- Mix 2 cups of flour with the baking soda; beat into creamed mixture.
- Stir in remaining 31/2 cups flour, working with hands if necessary to smooth dough. Divide into four parts and wrap airtight and chill for at least an hour.
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Roll a ball of gingerbread dough out into a thin circle. It doesn't have to be perfect. We're going for rustic here.
- In a bowl, stir together the berries, sugar (all but 1 Tbsp), ginger, cinnamon, salt, lemon juice, and corn starch.
- Spoon the filling onto the rolled dough, leaving a 2-inch border uncovered around the edge. Fold up the edges over the filling, forming loose pleats around the center.
- Mix egg yolk and cream together. Brush edges of crust with egg wash and sprinkle with reserved Tbsp. of sugar.
- Bake until the filling is bubbling and the pastry is golden brown, about 35-40 minutes.Take a peek after about 20 minutes to make sure the edges aren't browning too quickly. If they are, cover edges with foil until galette is done.
