Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter, very cold and cut into small cubes
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice-cold water
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean)
  • 1–2 tablespoons whole milk or cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  2. Slowly drizzle in 3 tablespoons of ice-cold water, mixing gently. Add more water 1 teaspoon at a time if dough seems dry. Stop once dough holds together but isn’t sticky. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While dough chills, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Pile strawberry filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges of dough over fruit, pleating to create a rustic rim. Optionally brush crust edges with water or beaten egg for golden finish.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake galette for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles. Check after 30 minutes to avoid over-browning.
  7. While baking, whisk powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and milk until smooth and slightly thick. Adjust milk for desired drizzle consistency.
  8. Remove galette from oven and cool for about 15 minutes. Drizzle vanilla bean glaze over warm galette before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky crust. Don’t overwork dough to avoid toughness. Use fresh strawberries for best flavor. Tent galette with foil if crust browns too quickly. Drizzle glaze while galette is warm for best shine. Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen. For gluten-free, use almond flour; for dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and milk with plant-based milk.
