Mini Strawberry Galettes with Vanilla and Black Pepper
These mini strawberry galettes with vanilla and black pepper are definitely not some ordinary galettes you would probably bake. This is a dessert for curious people who will appreciate a twist on a classical strawberry flavor.
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 200 g whole-grain spelt flour
- 110 g butter (cold)
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 2-4 tbsp very cold water
- pinch of salt
For the strawberry filling:
- 350 g strawberries
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp bourbon vanilla sugar
- zest of half a lemon (organic)
- ⅓ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ vanilla bean
- 1 tsp cornstarch
For the topping:
- 1 egg yolk (for brushing)
- some almond flakes
Instructions
- Put the flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor and add sliced cubes of cold butter. Pulse shortly until the mixture becomes crumbly with visible pieces of butter. Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough starts to form. You might not have to use all the required amount of water.
- Transfer the dough to a working station and shape it into a ball. Put the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll the dough into a circle. Transfer to refrigerator to cool for at least an hour. You can even leave the dough overnight, just keep it well covered.
- Slice the strawberries and mix them with the rest of the ingredients. Turn on the oven at 180°C. Get the dough out of the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before arranging the filling. Arrange the filling at the top of the dough, leaving about 2-3 cm of free space on the edges. Fold those edges, brush them with egg yolk, and sprinkle with some almond flakes and/or sugar.
- Place on a baking tray together with parchment paper and bake for about half an hour. The galette needs to get a light brown color and crisp texture. Take it out of the oven and serve it warm with some ice cream.
Notes
- The measurements in this recipe are for one middle-sized galette, as stated in the recipe. From this amount of ingredients you can bake two smaller galettes, like those you see in my photos.
