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 tbsp 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 tbsp 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.
