Best Lemon Raspberry Galette Recipes

BERRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Pulse flour, sugar, and salt together in a food processor. Add butter and cream cheese; pulse until mixture looks like wet sand.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon ice water over the mixture. Pulse until dough just starts to clump together; add a bit more water if it looks very dry.
• Turn dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Gather and gently press together into a cohesive ball. Use the wrap to press dough out into a thick disk. Wrap well and chill until firm, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly dust a flat work surface with flour. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle, moving dough around frequently to prevent sticking. Trim edges if they look very rough. Fold up dough into quarters. Brush off excess flour and transfer to the baking sheet. Unfold gently.
• Refrigerate dough while preparing the filling.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine berries, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a small bowl. Pour over berries and toss gently to combine.
• Remove dough from the refrigerator. Spread jam over the middle, leaving a thick border around the edges. Mound berries over the jam. Fold the edges of the dough over the berries and pleat it every few inches.
• Whisk egg and water together. Brush the border of the galette with the egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is deep golden and juices are bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Check the underside of the galette is also browned. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack and let cool before slicing.

LEMON RASPBERRY GALETTE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• For the pastry dough, place the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor and process to combine. Cut the cold butter into 1/2" pieces, add to the flour mixture and process for 5 seconds. Add the water and pulse about 15 times. The dough will look a bit lumpy like cottage cheese. Gather the dough and place on a piece of plastic wrap. Shape into a flattened rectangle and wrap. Chill the dough at least 30 minutes or overnight. For the lemon curd, whisk the lemon juice, zest, sugar and eggs in a nonreactive heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of low simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Whisk and cook until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3 - 5 minutes. Pour through a strainer into a bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and add, stirring to fully incorporate. Press a piece of plastic wrap into the surface and set aside to cool. When you're ready to roll out the dough, remove it from the refrigerator and rest it on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper for a few minutes so it can soften just a bit to prevent cracking. Then roll the dough out to about an 11 1/2" x 8 1/2" rectangle (or other desired shape) and 1/8" thickness, gently lifting and moving the dough after each roll and keeping the parchment lightly floured as needed. Brush off any excess flour and lift the parchment and pastry onto a baking sheet. Chill while you organize the remaining ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Toss the raspberries and sugar together in a bowl. Spread a layer of lemon curd to within 1 1/4" of the border on all sides. Use about 1/2 - 3/4 of the curd, per your own personal preference, and store the remaining in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Distribute the sweetened raspberries evenly on top of the lemon curd. Fold the pastry dough over the fruit to form a border. Brush the border with melted butter and dust with a light sprinkle of sugar. Chill until oven is ready. Bake until the dough is crisp and browned, about 35 - 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

FRUIT GALETTE

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, or in a large bowl, pulse or mix together flour, sugar and salt. In a measuring cup, lightly beat the egg, then add just enough cream to get to 1/3 cup. Lightly whisk the egg and cream together.
• Add butter to flour mixture and pulse or use a pastry cutter or your fingers to break up the butter. If using a food processor, do not over-process; you need chickpea-size chunks of butter. Drizzle the egg mixture (up to 1/4 cup) over the dough and pulse or stir until it just starts to come together but is still mostly large crumbs. Mix in lemon juice and zest if using.
• Put dough on lightly floured counter and pat it together to make one uniform piece. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic and chill for 2 hours, or up to 3 days.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll the dough out to a 12-inch round (it can be ragged). Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill while preparing the filling.
• Toss together fruit, all but a tablespoon of sugar, the salt, the lemon juice and zest, and the cornstarch. Use more cornstarch for juicy stone fruit and less for blueberries, raspberries and figs. Pile fruit on the dough circle, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Gently fold the pastry over the fruit, pleating to hold it in (sloppy is fine). Brush pastry generously with leftover egg and cream mixture. Sprinkle remaining sugar on the crust.
• Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the filling bubbles up vigorously and the crust is golden. Cool for at least 20 minutes on wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
