Today I’m sharing my recipe for a mixed berry galette.  It’s rustic, beautiful, delicious and so simple to make!  Plus I’m introducing you to the newest and coolest line of kitchen utensils from Thyme & Table.

Hello Spring ♥

I’m in gear to get all things springtime going, but I think we’re officially in our 3rd winter here in Pennsylvania.  *Sigh*…it’s snowing again.  Fingers crossed for warm sunny days & soon!

I usually bake nonstop during the winter months – this year I took a bit of a break from it.  I was definitely feeling soups, stews and hearty comfort foods during these colder months.

We had a few warm days and all of a sudden I’m craving fruits, berries and baked goods.  I’m ready to bake!

Plus I’ve been staring at all these bright, fun & too cool utensils from Thyme & Table.  I want to chop, whisk, mix, scrape – I want to get busy in the kitchen with all these pretty utensils!

Thyme & Table is a new line of fun, colorful & affordable kitchen utensils available at Walmart. All the pieces are so funky, fun yet functional!  I love the pop of color these utensils have added to my kitchen and know everyone else will as well.  I’m thinking Mother’s Day, gift baskets, housewarming presents – I’ve got gift ideas covered for awhile!!!

I’ll admit, some of my kitchen utensils are a bit beat up and overdue to be replaced.  My daughter tells me all my kitchen stuff is so “old fashioned” – so this fun & fresh change was needed!

Back to baking!  Craving fruit, I found a decent selection of berries at a local grocery store and grabbed one of everything they had.  I happily left with strawberries, blueberries & blackberries.

I knew I wanted to bake a galette.  I love, love, LOVE galettes!  They’re beautiful, rustic and so perfectly simple.

I made my own pastry dough here.  It’s simple, so when you have the time – definitely go for it.  When you don’t have the time, grab some of that premade pastry dough.  It will turn out delicious either way.

I try to keep the sugar to a minimum when working with fresh fruits & berries.  Unfortunately, none of these berries were particularly ripe, sweet or juicy – so I added a bit more sugar than I might normally.

Please know that galettes are so forgiving – so eager to please!  They really beg to be every bakers best friend!  I sloppily rolled out the dough – egdes all messy & uneven.  Guess what – it adds more character.  I had a bit of berry lava oozing out one corner while baking.  Easy fix – I just spooned that sweet lava over the galette while it was cooling.

Warm sunny days and springtime baking – I’m ready for you ♥

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Ingredients

• For Pastry:
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 9 tablespoons cold salted butter cubed (1 stick + 1 tablespoon)
• 2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup ice water
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
• For Filling:
• 4 cups mixed berries chopped if necessary (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoon cornstarch
• -parchment paper-

Instructions

• For Pastry:
• Combine the flour with the butter, sugar and salt in a food processor and process until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces remaining.
• Add the ice water over the flour mixture and process until the pastry just begins to come together.
• If not using a food processor, you can make the pastry by hand with a pastry cutter.
• Pat dough into approx a 6" disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 1/2 - 2 hours. This can be made well ahead of time if necessary.
• For Filling:
• Combine berries, sugar and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Gently mix together.
• To assemble:
• When dough is chilled, preheat oven to 400°F
• On a floured surface, roll out dough until roughly a 12"x14" rectangle. The corners can be rough and uneven and it's fine if you can't get roll the dough out to the full measurement.
• Transfer rolled dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush about half of the egg white onto the dough.
• Spoon the berry filling onto the dough, leaving a 2" border uncovered around the edge.
• Fold the edges up and over the filling, overlapping slightly.
• Brush remaining egg white over dough and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
• Bake until the filling is bubbly and the pastry is golden brown & crisp - about 40 - 50 minutes.
• If any of the berry mixture oozed out, spoon on top of galette
• Let rest on cookie sheet for about 10 minutes and then transfer galette, still on parchment paper, to wire rack to cool.
• Slice & enjoy ♥
