Date And Walnut Galette
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 cup butter cold and cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar plus extra for dusting
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- 1 Orange minced
- 3 tablespoons water ice cold
- 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon milk
- Start with crust by combining flour, salt, sugar, zest, cardamom and butter with a pastry blender until crumbly.
- Add water, a tablespoon at a time, until dough begins to come together and form a ball. Shape into a flat round, wrap in wax paper and pop in the fridge for at least an hour.
- As dough chills, throw the filling ingredients in a food processor and pulse until combined.
- When ready to bake, lightly dust a flat surface with flour and roll out dough about 1/2 inch thick to a circle about 9-10 inches in diameter. Trim excess dough. (If there's enough left, save the dough scraps for another treat. Just wrap tightly and freeze!)
- Sprinkle coconut at the bottom of the galette leaving 1 1/2-2 inches of dough all around. Spread date mixture-piled highly or flattened with your hand-on top of coconut.
- Fold dough over date mixture, pleating however you like. Lift the galette carefully and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Put the galette in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to reset.
- Whisk egg yolk with milk. When ready to bake, brush galette crust with egg yolk mixture and sprinkle liberally with sugar.
- Bake galette in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
