Description
A simple and rustic pear galette that combines the sweetness of pears with a flaky pastry crust. Perfect for a quick dessert or a cozy treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 4–6 tablespoons ice water
- 3 ripe pears, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form it into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Arrange the pear slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the pears, pleating as you go. Brush the crust with melted butter.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the pears are tender. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm pears for the best texture.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- You can prepare the dough in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
