Mini Blueberry Galettes
Description
The recipe for Mini Blueberry Galettes uses an unbleached all-purpose flour dough blended with vegan butter and ice-cold water to create a tender, flaky crust. The dough is portioned and rolled out roughly, then filled with blueberries mixed with organic cane sugar and cornstarch to thicken the juices during baking.
Baked at 400°F, the galettes develop a rustic golden crust with a juicy, slightly thickened blueberry filling. The use of vegan butter ensures the crust is rich and flaky, while the raw sugar topping adds a subtle crunch and sparkle to the crust edge.
This dessert is suitable for serving warm or at room temperature, optionally accompanied by coconut whipped cream or vegan vanilla ice cream to add a creamy contrast. Seasonal variations can be made using other fruits such as sautéed apples with cinnamon and coconut sugar for fall.
The dough can be adapted for gluten-free baking by adjusting the flour blend and water amount, with careful shaping to contain the filling due to less elasticity.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour unbleached
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
- 12 Tbsp vegan butter our current preferred is Miyoko's, but Earth Balance also works // 1 ½ sticks yields 12 Tbsp or 168 g, cold
- 4-6 Tbsp water ice cold
- 3 cups Blueberry fresh or frozen
- 1 Tbsp organic cane sugar (plus more for topping)
- 1 tsp cornstarch
FOR SERVING optional
- Coconut whipped cream
- Vegan vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and position a rack in the middle of the oven. Also get out two large baking sheets.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut butter into the flour until well blended using a pastry cutter or fork.
- Add chilled water 1 Tbsp (15 ml) at a time and stir until the dough scrapes away from the bowl. This will depend on the flour you use, but usually requires around 4-5 Tbsp. If you add too much water, add more flour to compensate.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Without overworking, form into a ball, then divide into four segments if making small galettes, or six segments if making mini galettes.
- Working one at a time and adding more flour as needed, use a floured rolling pin to roll each piece of dough out into a rough circle. Use the rolling pin to carefully transfer to the baking sheets (you will need two depending on their size) by placing the rolling pin at one end of the dough and gently folding the dough over the rolling pin. Then lift, transfer, and fold the dough off of the rolling pin onto the baking sheet.
- Add blueberries to the dough bowl — no need to rinse it — and toss with sugar and cornstarch. Divide berries evenly among the pies, placing in the center of the dough.
- Next, carefully fold the crust edges up, overlapping them as you go. Try to ensure no cracks remain or the fruit will seep out during baking.
- Brush pies with a touch of water (or melted vegan butter) and sprinkle with organic cane or raw sugar to ensure a golden, crisp crust.
- Bake for 20-28 minutes for mini galettes or 28-35 minutes for small galettes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly. Serve warm with a scoop of vegan ice cream or coconut whipped cream.
- Store leftovers loosely covered at room temperature up to 2-3 days, in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer up to 1 month.
Notes
- To make gluten-free galettes, use a suitable flour blend and reduce water to 1-3 tablespoons as gluten-free flours absorb butter differently.
- The edges can be shaped gently with a knife coated in gluten-free flour to hold filling in place if the dough is less elastic.
- Use seasonal fruits for better flavor; blueberries for summer, or apples sautéed with cinnamon and coconut sugar for fall.
