A quick and easy rustic mixed berry galette with a flaky buttery crust and a sweet vanilla glaze, perfect for any occasion and made with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 8 tbsp (113 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3–4 tbsp ice water
  • 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen; blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract or seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Add cold, cubed butter and work into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits. Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until dough just comes together. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat evenly. Let sit while dough chills.
  3. Roll out the dough: Lightly flour work surface and roll chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Assemble the galette: Spoon berry filling onto center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges up over filling, pleating to create rustic look. Brush crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake galette for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and berries are bubbly. Tent with foil if crust edges brown too quickly.
  6. Make the vanilla glaze: While galette cools slightly, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust thickness as needed. Drizzle glaze over warm galette before serving.

Notes

Keep butter and dough cold to ensure a flaky crust. Thaw and drain frozen berries to avoid soggy crust. If dough cracks while folding, press gently to seal. Tent galette with foil if crust browns too fast. Vanilla glaze is optional but recommended for added sweetness and aroma.
