Hey Everyone, I’m Courtney Roulston and I’m super excited to be sharing with you one of my favourite sweet treats, a strawberry galette, bursting with rustic charm and sweet jammy strawberries.
And this pastry is a dead-set winner. You can use it for sweet or for savory. And we’re going to start with 185g of plain flour into the food processor. I’ve got 120g of butter. I’m also going in with a pinch of sea salt with about half a teaspoon of baking powder.
And we’re just going to give this a blitz until it resembles bread crumbs. I’ve got 90g of cream cheese. And we’re going to blitz again. So I’m going in with a tablespoon of cream
And we’re just going to bltiz this one last time until it forms a nice ball in our mixing bowl. Just tip this out, wrap it up nice and tight so no air can get in there.
Ok pastry has had two hours in the fridge oyu can see it’s gone nice and firm so we can roll this out now. And... I don’t have a rolling pin let me go and find one. No rolling pin no worries, I found something that will do the job. Alright we just need to get this pastry on to a tray.
So in here I've got a mixture of 50g of almond meal, a teaspoon of cinnamon, 50g of caster sugar and a tablespoon of plain flour. And this is going to help keep a nice golden bottom on our pastry.
I’ve got 500g of strawberries here and we just need to chop them. I’ve also got here a mixture of caster sugar and there’s a little bit of corn flour in here and this is going to help make a really nice thick sauce with the strawberries. And about a tablespoon of orange zest.
These are ready to go into our tart. All we need to do is fold up the outside edge that we left here. I just want to brush some egg around the outside.
(Laughter) That’s your last one!
Final steps, I’ve got some demerara sugar that we’re just going to sprinkle on to the outside. Alright. She’s ready for the oven. I’ve got my oven set at 200 degrees. This is going to take around 40 minutes.
Have a look at it. So let’s slide it off. Lets cut a nice generous wedge out. I’m going on with a nice generous dollop of vanilla bean yoghurt.
Time to dig in! Still hot and that’s how you make my delicious strawberry galette. There’s never been a better time to cook food that makes you happy than right now
And this this strawberry galette is one big slice of joy!
