  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

– 175 grams plain flour

– Tiny pinch of salt

– 90 grams unsalted butter

– 2 tablespoons cold water

– 1 sheet of ready-made shortcrust pastry

– 200 grams cranberries (fresh or frozen)

– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

– 5 tablespoons granulated sugar

– 1 egg for glazing

– 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

1-Getting started: Getting started with this cranberry galette is straightforward, beginning with prepping your ingredients and dough. First, combine plain flour and salt in a mixing bowl, then cut butter into cubes and rub into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add cold water and mix until the dough comes together, then wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2-Next: Next, preheat your oven to 200ºC fan / 400ºF and roll out the pastry to room temperature before placing it on a baking tray. Mix sugar and cinnamon, then place cranberries in the center of the pastry, leaving a border, and sprinkle the sugar mixture over the fruit. Fold the pastry edges inward to create a border around the filling.

3-Lightly beat the egg: Lightly beat the egg with milk and brush it onto the pastry edges, then sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown, reducing the oven temperature to 180ºC after 10 minutes or covering with aluminum foil if needed. Once done, let it cool slightly and serve hot, ideally with vanilla ice cream.

4-First Steps to Flaky Perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your workspace by gathering all ingredients to streamline the process. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt, then cut in the chilled butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, to form a dough without overworking it, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

🍽️ Use fresh cranberries for better texture; thaw frozen cranberries completely to avoid soggy pastry.
🌿 Add spices like cinnamon or ground ginger for a warm, aromatic flavor.
❄️ This galette can be made ahead and frozen; keep pastry and fruit separate for easier thawing.
