1large eggwhisked with 1 tablespoon water (called an egg wash)
Serving
ice cream and/or whipped cream (recipe below in notes)
Instructions
If you are making your own pie crust go ahead and do that first. Then pop it in the fridge to chill. If you bought a store-bough crust skip to the next step.
Preheat the oven to 375°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a reusable silpat.
On a lightly floured surface roll your dough out to be about 10-12 inches round. Then transfer it to your parchment lined baking sheet. Pro Tip: to transfer rolled out dough lightly roll it around the rolling pin and then unroll it onto your baking sheet.
In a bowl stir together the sugar, cornstarch, and pinch of salt.
¼ cup sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, pinch of kosher salt
Add the blueberries and lemon juice to the sugar mixture. Stir to coat the berries. Then immediately pour into the center of your crust, making about a 7-8 inch circle of berries. Pro Tip: Do not mix your berries ahead of time. The sugar will "melt" off the berries and stick to the bottom of the bowl. Mix them and then immediately pour into your crust.
2 cups fresh blueberries, 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Fold the edges of the crust over the berries by about 1-1.5 inches. This does not need to look pretty! Just make sure there are no holes in the crust around the sides.
Lightly brush the crust with the egg wash (you will not use all the egg wash!!) then sprinkle some sugar on the crust edges, it will adhere to the egg wash.
1 large egg
Bake for 25 minutes, until the blueberries are bubbling and the crust is golden.**cooking time may vary depending on the crust you use. A homemade crust may take closer to 30-35 minutes and a store-bought crust will be closer to 20-25 minutes.
Let cool for about 20 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to set before cutting into the galette.
Serving
Serve the Blueberry Galette cut into wedges and serve with ice cream or whipped cream on top.
Storing
Store any leftovers at room temp in an air tight container for up to 3 days.
