Scale
- 3/4 cup (74.5g) all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
- 3 Tbsp (43g) very cold butter, cubed
- 1 Tbsp (15g) cold shortening
- 3-4 Tbsp (45-60g) ice water
- 1 tsp (4g) turbinado sugar
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 cup sour cherries, pitted
- 2 Tbsp (24g) granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 Tbsp (8g) cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp (1g) almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- To make the pastry dough, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter and shortening using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, gently mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overwork the dough.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- In a separate bowl, mix the pitted sour cherries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, cornstarch, and almond extract. Set aside.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the cherry mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the cherries, pleating as necessary to create a rustic edge.
- Brush the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow the galette to cool slightly before serving. Pair with Troegs DreamWeaver Wheat beer for an enhanced flavor experience.
Notes
For best results, use fresh sour cherries. If unavailable, frozen cherries can be used but ensure they are well-drained. The galette pairs beautifully with Troegs DreamWeaver Wheat beer, enhancing the nuttiness of the pastry and the tartness of the cherries. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
