Blueberry and Blackberry Galette
This humble Blueberry and Blackberry Galette is a crowd pleaser with a jammy filling and flaky crust.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups plain flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cut into cubes
- 2 – 3 tablespoons ice cold water
- 1 egg, for egg wash
- Granulated coarse sugar
- 2 cups blueberries, washed
- 2 cups blackberries washed
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons corn flour
- pinch salt
Method
- Place the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand and no large chunks of butter remain.
- Add in the chilled water one tablespoon at a time. Do not add any more water if the dough has come together. You want just enough to bind the dough into a ball.
- Turn the dough out of the food processor and form into a flat oval disk on a bench sprinkled with flour and then wrap in plastic wrap. Place in fridge for at least 30 minutes, but up to 3 days.
- Once your dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 190C and line a flat baking pan with baking paper. Set aside.
- Sprinkle your bench with flour. Roll your dough out into a 30cm circle. Place dough onto a Baccarat Le Connoisseur Sauté Pan lined with baking paper.
- In a large bowl combine the blueberries, blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, salt and cornflour. Stir to coat the berries well.
- Place the blueberry and blackberry mixture in the centre of the pie crust into an even layer. Lift the edges of the pie dough in towards the centre, folding as you go around.
- Mix egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush over crust. Top with coarse sugar if desired. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the blueberry filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. Serve with vanilla ice cream!
About Cast Iron Cookware
Cast iron cookware is a versatile and beloved kitchen essential that has stood the test of time. With a history dating back centuries, cast iron cookware has remained a popular choice among home cooks and professional chefs alike. Its durability, heat retention, and even heat distribution makes it a reliable and efficient tool in the kitchen.
One of the key advantages of cast iron cookware is its ability to retain heat. Once heated, cast iron retains heat for a longer period of time compared to other materials. This makes it ideal for tasks that require even and consistent heat, such as searing meats or baking bread. The heat retention also means that food stays warm for longer, making it perfect for serving dishes at the table.
Another benefit of cast iron cookware is its durability. Unlike other types of cookware that may chip, scratch, or wear out over time, cast iron is built to last. With proper care and maintenance, a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven can be passed down through generations, becoming a cherished family heirloom. Its robust construction allows it to withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for use on various cooking surfaces, including stovetops, ovens, and even campfires.
Furthermore, cast iron cookware offers a natural non-stick surface when properly seasoned. Seasoning involves coating the cookware with a layer of oil and heating it, creating a protective layer that prevents food from sticking. This makes cooking and cleaning a breeze, as food easily releases from the surface with minimal effort. Additionally, the seasoning process adds flavour and depth to dishes over time, enhancing the overall cooking experience.
In addition to its practical benefits, cast iron cookware also adds a rustic and nostalgic charm to the kitchen. Its classic design and solid construction evoke a sense of tradition and heritage. Many people enjoy the process of caring for and using cast iron cookware, as it connects them to a bygone era of cooking.
