Description
These Summer Berry Mini Galettes are the ultimate rustic dessert—flaky, golden crusts wrapped around a sweet-tart filling of blueberries and strawberries. With a buttery base and sparkling sugar crust, they’re simple, elegant, and bursting with fresh summer flavor.
Ingredients
For the pie crust (makes 6 mini galettes):
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup salted butter, cold and cubed
3 tablespoons ice cold water
For the berry filling:
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon salted butter, cut into 6 cubes
To finish:
1 large egg (for egg wash)
2 to 3 tablespoons coarse sugar (for crust edges)
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water gradually, mixing until the dough just holds together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
-
Roll the dough out to about a 12-inch circle. Using a 4-inch round cutter or bowl, cut out 6 smaller circles, re-rolling scraps as needed. Chill cut crusts for 15–20 minutes.
-
In a medium bowl, gently toss blueberries, strawberries, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and zest until evenly coated.
-
Place dough circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon fruit filling into the center of each, leaving about a ½-inch border around the edges. Fold the edges over the filling to create a rustic pleated edge.
-
Place a cube of butter on top of the filling in each galette. Brush crust edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
-
Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 30 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Keep dough and butter as cold as possible for the flakiest results.
You can swap in other fresh berries like raspberries or blackberries.
For added shine, brush the finished crusts with a touch of warm honey.
These are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored at room temperature for 1–2 days.
