Ingredients
Method
for the dough
- Use a large grate of a cheese grater to grate the stick of butter into smaller pieces and place this into the fridge to stay cool.
- Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until fragrant. Let cool then pulse in a food processor until a fine powder-like nut flour. Combine the walnut flour with the regular flour and add in the salt and cinnamon. Whisk to combine.
- Take the butter out of the fridge and mix this into the flour using a mixer or your hands. Quickly and carefully mix together (don't over mix). The result should be pea-sized granules of flour with butter pieces still whole throughout the mixture.
- Add the cold water one tablespoon at a time. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead the dough just until it comes together into a ball. Wrap with plastic wrap and place in the fridge.
for the fruit
- Combine the fresh fruit with the corn starch, lemon juice, and sugar. Let sit while you roll out the dough.
forming the galette
- Prehat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a 12 inch diameter. Use your rolling pin to transfer the dough circle to a parchment lined baking sheet. Spoon the fruit out onto the center of the dough (keeping it in a high mound in the center). Fold up the sides onto the fruit then brush the milk onto the dough and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake at 375 for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Almonds or pecans can be substituted for the walnuts or use a all flour crust by adding 1/2 cup more flour instead of the ground nuts to the dough.
