Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt. Pulse until well blended. Cut in ½ cup of cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 4–6 tablespoons of ice cold water, pulsing until the dough begins to form a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- While the dough chills, adjust your oven shelf to the center position and preheat to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, gently fold together 2 cups of fresh blackberries, ½ cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of fresh-squeezed lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of grated lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.
- Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and place it on a floured surface. Roll it out into a 12-inch circle, about ¼ inch thick. Transfer the rolled dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon the blackberry filling into the center of the dough circle, leaving a generous 2-inch border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go.
- Chill the assembled galette in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Whisk 1 egg to create an egg wash. Brush the crust with egg wash and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of turbinado sugar on top.
- Place the galette in the oven and bake at 400°F for 10 minutes, then reduce to 375°F and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
- Allow the galette to cool slightly for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes
Ensure to use cold ingredients for a flaky crust and avoid over-processing the dough.
