Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup coarse cornmeal
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, (cut into small pieces)
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 3 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste ((can use vanilla extract))
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, (for sprinkling on dough)

Instruction

  • To make the dough, combine flour, sugar, cornmeal, and salt in a processor; pulse 2-3 times. Add butter and pulse 4-5 times, or until mixture resembles coarse meal. With the processor running, slowing pour the buttermilk through the chute, processing until the dough forms a ball. Remove the dough ball and adhere any remaining pieces of dough to it, then wrap in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes before rolling out.
  • Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Take the galette dough out of the fridge and let it sit out while you prepare the strawberries.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla bean paste. Gently stir until cornstarch disappears and the berries are well coated. Set aside.
  • Place the galette dough on a large sheet of parchment paper. Starting at the center of the dough, roll out, forming a 14-inch wide circle. Place the dough with parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  • Place the strawberry mixture on top of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the dough border gently over the berries, overlapping where necessary and pressing gently to adhere the folds.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together with a fork. Lightly brush the edge of the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle turbinado sugar over the galette crust.
  • Bake the galette for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool to room temperature before slicing.
  • Cut the galette into pieces and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
