Easiest Blueberry Galette

I am not usually a baker. I can easily spend hours in the kitchen whipping up a braised short rib or home made pasta but something about dessert scares me. Maybe it's all the precision and measuring that goes into. (Math is not my forte). However the below galette recipe is so simple it's basically foolproof. 

It takes all of 5 minutes to prepare, 25 minutes in the oven and guaranteed delicious. Top with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and I promise rave reviews.

If you are looking for a dessert to bring to a Memorial Day party this weekend this is sure to be a hit!

You could use a mix of blueberries and raspberries for that red, white and blue spirit.

recipe below.

What you'll need:

3 cups berries of your choice (I used a mixture of blueberries and blackberries)

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup sugar, plus 1 teaspoon for dusting crust

1 (9 inch) frozen pie dough (thawed) 

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, in small cubes

1 egg, beaten

Directions

Pre heat the oven to 425 degrees.

In a bowl stir together the berries, cornstarch, lemon juice, zest and sugar. 

Unfold the pie crust on a greased baking sheet. 

Spoon the berry mixture onto the center of the dough, leaving about an inch or so at the edges. 

Fold the edges of the dough over the berry mixture, pleating the dough where necessary. You can just use your fingers to pinch together. 

Brush the pie crust with beaten the egg & sprinkle with the teaspoon of sugar. Place the cubes of butter on top of the berries. 

Bake about 25 minutes, until berries are bubbling and crust is golden. Let cool and top with vanilla ice cream. Serve warm.
