Combining the goodness of raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry filling, along with a touch of blackberry whisky, these mini treats are bound to be a hit at any gathering.
The Ingredients You'll Need
For the Galette Crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
4-6 tablespoons ice water
For the Berry Filling:
1/2 cup raspberries
1/2 cup blackberries
1/2 cup blueberries
2 tablespoons blackberry whisky (Crown Royal or Bird Dog are great)
2 Tbsp sugar in the raw + a little extra to sprinkle on the crust
1 Tbsp cornstarch
Orange Zest
Egg wash for brushing the crust
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Galette Crust: In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled, cubed butter, and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disc, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
*If you need a shortcut, you can substitute refrigerated pie crust for scratch made crust*
Make the Berry Filling: In another bowl, toss together the raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, sugar, blackberry whisky, and cornstarch until well combined.
Assemble the Mini Galettes: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Using a knife, cut out rough circles of dough (About 4 inches around). Place a 1/4 cup of the mixed berry filling in the center of each circle. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating a small border. Brush the edges of the galettes with milk for a golden finish. Sprinkle raw sugar over folded crust.
Bake and Enjoy: Bake the mini galettes for 20-28 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. These galettes are delicious on their own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
