Mini Strawberry & Blueberry Galettes

Makes 4 mini galettes

Ingredients

For the dough:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter, cubed
5 tbsp ice water

For the filling:
2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced 1/2 in thick) and blueberries
1 tbsp + 1 tsp corn starch
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp kosher salt
Egg wash: 1 large or medium egg + 1 tbsp water
Turbinado or demerara sugar for sprinkling
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Directions

To make the crust, pulse the flour, salt, and cubed butter in a food processor until the butter is pea-sized. Slowly pour in the water until moist enough for a dough ball to form. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

When at least 2 hours has passed, preheat your oven to 375℉.

To make the filling, grab a large bowl and combine the berries, corn starch, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Set aside.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1/4 in thick. Using a cookie cutter, bowl, or whatever you have on hand, cut 4x 6in circles. You will likely get three the first time, then will need to roll the scraps back out for the fourth.

Place about 1/4 cup filling into the center of each circle, leaving about an inch around the edge. Fold up the edges (does not need to be pretty!).

Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.

Bake for 28-30 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm or room temperature with a scoop of ice cream.

Plum & Orange Tarts

Makes 12 tarts

Ingredients

3-4 plums, pitted and cut into slices ¼in thin
1 tbsp orange zest
1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted
1 egg + 1 tsp water (for egg wash)
2-3 tbsp turbinado or demerara sugar

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400℉.

Roll the puff pastry out to about ¼inch thin, large enough to get 12 equal squares, each 3inch in size.

Layer 3-5 plum slices on each square, then sprinkle evenly with orange zest. Make the egg wash by whisking together the egg and water. Brush along the edges of the tarts and then sprinkle over it evenly with the coarse sugar.

Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
