Strawberry-Blueberry Galette with Honey-Lemon Glaze Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 4 -6 tablespoons ice water
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup blueberries, washed and picked over
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Coarse sugar for sprinkling
How to Make Strawberry-Blueberry Galette with Honey-Lemon Glaze
- 1
For the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter chunks. This should take about 2 minutes – you want some butter to remain visible for that flaky texture.
- 2
Drizzle 4 tablespoons of ice water over the mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold it in, adding more water one tablespoon at a time if the dough isn't coming together. The goal is a shaggy, cohesive mass – don't overwork it, or your crust will become tough. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 3
While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, toss the strawberries, blueberries, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice together until evenly coated. Let it sit for 5 minutes while the berries release their juices. Stir in the honey last – this will create that signature glossy, vibrant purple-red filling.
- 4
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll your chilled dough into a 12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer it to your prepared baking sheet.
- 5
Spoon the fruit filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border all around. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating as you go to create that charming, rustic edge. Don't worry if it looks imperfect – that's the whole point! Brush the crust with a beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar for that golden, crackling finish.
- 6
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges. The aroma of buttery pastry and sweet, spiced berries will fill your kitchen – it's worth every calorie. Let it cool completely on the baking sheet for 20 minutes before glazing.
- 7
For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled galette in zigzag patterns. The glaze should set slightly as it cools, creating those beautiful amber ribbons against the purple fruit.
Chef's Tips
- For the crispiest crust, keep all ingredients as cold as possible – even the water! If your kitchen is warm, chill the dough in the freezer for 10 minutes before rolling.
- Don't overfill the galette – it's better to have a slightly smaller amount of fruit than to risk a messy oven spill. A 2-inch border is your safety zone.
- The galette actually tastes even better the next day! Wrap it tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. The crust softens slightly while the flavors meld, creating an almost jammy consistency.
- For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and add 1 tablespoon extra ice water – the texture difference is negligible!
- If you can't find fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries work perfectly here! Thaw and drain them well before using to prevent excess liquid.

Serving Suggestions
Serve warm slices with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla Greek yogurt. For a sophisticated pairing, serve with a glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc or a sparkling wine. The crisp, acidic notes of white wine cut through the sweetness beautifully. For a casual gathering, plate individual slices on rustic wooden boards with mint sprigs for a pop of color.
