Ingredients

Gather these ingredients to create your Blueberry Galette with Mint:

For the Dough:

  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 3–4 tbsp ice water

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

For the Garnish:

  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Powdered sugar (optional)


Step 1: Prepare the Dough

The homemade crust gives this galette its signature rustic look.

  • Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add chilled butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together.
  • Chill: Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.


Step 2: Prepare the Blueberry Filling

The filling is the heart of this galette, bursting with fresh blueberry flavor.

  • Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Toss gently to coat the blueberries evenly.


Step 3: Assemble the Galette

This free-form tart is easy to assemble and beautifully rustic.

  • Roll Out Dough: Roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Add Filling: Spoon the blueberry mixture into the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed.


Step 4: Bake the Galette

Golden perfection awaits!

  • Preheat and Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the galette for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  • Cool Slightly: Let the galette cool for 10 minutes before garnishing.


Step 5: Garnish and Serve
