Cook Time30 minutes
Servings: 4 galettes

Ingredients

For the crust

  • 1 1/2 cups pastry flour, you can use all purpose
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter; cubed
  • 1/4 cup very cold water

  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

For the filling

  • 2 cup pitted and halved cherries
  • 2 tablespoon flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

For the crust

  • Whisk flour, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl. 
  • Using a pastry cutter or two butter knives, cut in butter until the size of large grains of sand. 
  • Add half of the water and flake with a fork until flour mixture starts coming together. Add a little more water and mush together with your hands just until combined and you can bring into a ball. Do not over handle your dough. 
  • Turn on a floured board, divide into four, shape into balls and flatten into thick disks.  
  • Cover disks completely in flour. Place dough in the refrigerator. 
  • Preheat oven to 390° 

For the filling

  • Combine cherries, flour, and brown sugar into a medium bowl and stir until evenly covered.
  • Add cinnamon and almond extract and stir until combined. 

To assemble galette

  • Remove dough from refrigerator and turn on a floured board. Roll each disk out to about 1/8 inch thick or an 8-10 inch circle. 
  • Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat. 
  • Spoon 1/4 of the cherry filling into the center of each circle leaving a 2-inch border. 
  • Carefully fold the edges over the filling. 
  • Brush dough with egg white and place sliced almonds on top.
  • Bake galettes for 35 - 40 minutes or until golden brown. 
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for five minutes. 
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
