As you surely know and can certainly relate to, we love strawberries! Unfortunately, the strawberry season is far too short. That is why we have to use it intensively and enjoy it every time. We have already presented different sweet and savory galettes on our blog. So today it’s the turn of our recipe for strawberry galette!
The fresh strawberries with a little lemon juice on the delicious, crispy batter are simply a pleasure. The strawberry galette is so easy to make. The shortcrust pastry is quickly kneaded together and while it is resting, the filling can be done.
The filling consists of strawberries, cornstarch and some lemon zest. Simply pour the mixture onto the dough and bake in the oven until the edge is nicely browned. This works great if you brush some plant-based drink on the edge.
After about 40 minutes of baking time, you can enjoy your warm strawberry galette (maybe with a scoop of ice cream).
