Blackberry Lavender Galette

There’s just nothing better than fresh, juicy berries in the summer! We have been basically living off of fresh fruit the last few months and I’m not at all sad about it! I’m always trying to think of new ways to use them in desserts, and my obsession? This blackberry lavender galette! Galettes are basically super easy versions of pie: buttery flakey crust, filled with deliciously roasted berries. Summer in a bite!

You’ll be seriously so surprised by how easy this galette is to make. If you’ve ever been intimidated by pie, these are a perfect starting place. And can we talk about the flavors in these for a second? Blackberries are juicy, sweet, and have a slightly earthy undertone to them. A perfect pairing for fresh lavender, with its almost minty and citrusy taste. I buy this culinary grade lavender to cook and bake with. So so good!

Easy Tips For Making This Blackberry Lavender Galette:

• Flakey buttery crust comes from cold butter! We let the crust rest in the fridge twice – once before rolling out, and once before baking! This helps to make sure it’s cold when it goes into the oven. Don’t skip those chills, it makes a huge difference!
• Be sure to roll the crust dough out on a piece of parchment paper. That way, it will be much easier to move the rolled out crust from your counter to the fridge, and then to the baking sheet.
• Your dough does not need to be a perfect circle, that’s one reason why I love this more rustic version of a pie recipe!

Instructions

Add the flour and salt to the bowl of your food processor, and pulse a few times to combine. Add the cubed butter, and allow to run until the dough starts to form. Drizzle in the cold ice water, and run again until combined, about 2-3 minutes. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and let rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

After the resting period, place a large piece of parchment paper on your work surface. Lightly dust with flour, and roll the dough out to about a 1/4 inch thick circle. This does not need to be a perfect circle! Prepare the filling by combining all the filling ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, except the lavender. (We’ll sprinkle that on at the end.) Spread the filling onto the galette crust, leaving about 1-1 1/2 inch border around the edge. Gently fold the edges up around the filling. Move the galette back to the fridge, and allow to rest again, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

After the second resting period, whisk the egg together, and brush the crust lightly. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and fragrant. It’s ok for the crust to brown a little. Allow to cool about 10 minutes, and then sprinkle with lavender. Drizzle with honey just before serving, and cut into 8 wedges. Enjoy plain or with vanilla ice cream!

Notes

Make sure to roll out the dough on parchment paper. It’s almost impossible to move the filled galette without it!
