Blueberry Galette
The Blueberry Galette is a rustic pastry featuring a flaky puff pastry crust wrapped around a filling of fresh or frozen blueberries mixed with sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch. The tart and sweet blueberry filling thickens during baking, while the pastry turns golden and crisp, creating a balance of textures. This galette is an approachable fruit tart suitable for dessert or an afternoon treat, served warm or cooled.
