It is raspberry season, and while we don’t grow raspberries, here is Florida. There is an abundance of raspberries in the grocery stores right now. Follow along with me as I make this sweet and tart easy rustic dessert – raspberry Einkorn galette.
I’m a pie fan. Give me pie over cake any day. I used to ask for pies for my birthday when I was younger instead of a birthday cake. Having a December birthday, I would usually ask for an apple pie or pumpkin pie, and of course, my mama made the best pies.
Sometimes, I don’t have time to make a pie, so this rustic and easy galette is a great option. It’s not picture perfect with a trimmed and crimped crust, but it’s oh so delicious.
Foods that are picture perfect aren’t always the most delicious. Foods made with love for hungry bellies will win any day.
What is a Galette?
A galette is a type of rustic, free form flat pie with a sweet or savory filing. In French, galette means flat cake.
I have made galettes with sweet and savory fillings. Both are lovely, but I prefer a sweet filling with the buttery flaky crust.
If you love using Einkorn flour as much as I do. Here are some of my favorite Einkorn recipes:
Einkorn Chocolate Chip Cookies
Einkorn Lemon Olive Oil Muffins
Einkorn Blueberry Puff Pancake
Making the Crust
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of all-purpose Einkorn flour
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1 1/4 cup of very cold butter
- 1/4 cup of ice water
- 1 egg for egg wash
- Extra sugar for dusting the crust before baking
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.
Using a cheese grater, grater the very cold butter into the flour and salt mixture. Mixing is occasionally with a fork so that the butter is evenly coated with flour.
Once the butter and flour are mixed together, add the cold water and mix together with a fork.
The dough will be crumbly and slightly moist. Once the dough is mixed as best you can with a fork, use your hands to press and bring the dough into a ball form. Being careful not to make the dough too warm.
Once the dough is in a flat ball, wrap in parchment paper and place in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, start on making the filling for the galette.
Raspberry Galette Filling
Ingredients:
- 12 oz of fresh raspberries (I used two clamshell packages)
- 1/4 cup of maple sugar (you can use brown sugar as well)
- 2 tbsp Einkorn all-purpose flour
Instructions:
In a medium-sized bowl, add raspberries, sugar, and flour. Gently mix until all of the raspberries are covered with sugar and flour.
Making a Raspberry Galette
Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 350F. Once a floured surface, roll the dough in a 12 inch circle shape.
Add the raspberry filling to the center of the dough. Gently spread out the raspberries sonthatbthey are in a flat layer, but about 1 or so from the edge of the dough.
Gently fold over the edges of the dough 1 to 2 over the raspberry filling . The entire dough circle will now have a crust on the edge of the galette.
Move the galette onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Crack 1 egg in a bowl and scramble. Then, using a brush, brush the edges of the crust with egg and then sprinkle with sugar. This will give the crust a little extra golden brownness.
Bake it for 45 to 55 minutes, depending on how cold your crust was when starting to bake.
When done, the crust will be golden brown, and the center filling will be slightly bubbly.
Your raspberry Einkorn galette is now ready to enjoy! I hope you enjoy this beautiful and tasty treat as much as we do!
