2
|
In a large mixing bowl, pour in flour and mix with sugar, salt, vanilla, and lemon juice.

Using your fingers with clean hands or gloves, cut the butter in the flour till the mixture is crumbly. At the same time, add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it tight in plastic wrap, and place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

In a large, clean mixing bowl, combine strawberries, cornstarch, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Unwrap the plastic from your dough, lightly flour a clean work surface and your hands, using a rolling pin, roll the dough into an even circle or rectangle.
8
|
Pour the strawberry filling into the middle of the dough, leaving about 2 inches from the edges of the dough.
9
|
With your fingers, fold the edges of the dough with less than half of the flap touching the filling.

Brush the edges of the dough with milk of your choice and sugar.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Ice Water is Essential for Flaky Crust ❄️Use ice water that's actually ice-cold, and add it gradually while mixing just until the dough comes together—overworking develops gluten and creates a tough, dense crust instead of those coveted flaky layers.
- Chill Your Butter and Tools 🧈Cut cold butter into small cubes and keep them cold by chilling your mixing bowl and even your fingers; warm butter melts into the flour, preventing the pockets of fat that create flakiness.
- Macerate Strawberries with Sugar and Lemon 🍓Toss your strawberries with sugar and lemon juice 30 minutes before assembling to draw out their natural juices and concentrate flavor, then drain excess liquid before adding cornstarch to prevent a soggy galette.
- Use Cornstarch to Prevent Soggy Filling 🌾Dust cornstarch directly on the dough before adding strawberries to create a barrier that absorbs the released juices while keeping your crust crispy and preventing a wet filling.
- Brush with Egg Wash and Sanding Sugar for Shine ✨Apply a light egg wash (or milk) to the pastry edges and sprinkle with sanding sugar before baking for a professional-looking, glistening, and slightly crunchy exterior that adds textural contrast.
