Ingredients

Pie Dough

  • 2 cup (240g) All Purpose Flour, measured correctly †
  • 1/4 cup White Sugar
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, cubed and very cold
  • 4 tbsp Ice Cold Water, plus more if needed
  • 4 tbsp Cold Vodka

Strawberry Rhubarb Filling

  • 2 cups Quartered Strawberries
  • 2 cups Chopped Rhubarb, chopped into 1/2" slices
  • 1/2 cup White Sugar
  • 1 ½ tbsp Elder Flower Liqueur
  • Zest of 1 Orange
  • 1/4 cup Corn Starch

Instructions

Making the Strawberry Rhubarb Galette Pie Dough

  • Mix together vodka and water into a small measuring cup, then set aside. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine. Add in cold butter cubes, and work the butter into flour with your hands or a pastry cutter. Work the butter until it is crumbly and about the size of peas.
  • Slowly drizzle in vodka-water while simultaneously tossing with a fork to combine. After all the vodka-water has been added, knead the dough a few times inside the bowl until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough doesn’t come together, slowly add more water until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Form dough, as best as you can, into a disk shape, then place into a freezer bag, then into the fridge for an hour to chill.
  • Remove dough from fridge and place onto counter for 5 minute to warm-up a bit. Remove the dough from the freezer bag and place onto a well-floured work surface.
  • Roll dough out to be about 1/4” thick, and about 13-14” in diameter, aiming for a general circle shape (however it does not need to be perfect). Place rolled out dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Filling & Baking the Strawberry Rhubarb Galette

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, combine all filling ingredients until well combined.
  • Spread the filling onto the center of the rolled out pie dough, leaving a 2" border around the edges.
  • Gently fold the bare edge of the dough over the filling, overlapping the dough as necessary. Press gently to seal the edges.
  • In a small dish, whisk together the egg and water until frothy and combined. Brush this egg wash across the edges of the galette, then sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Place the Strawberry Rhubarb Galette into the oven, bake for 35 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

† to measure flour correctly, use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup, then level off with a straight edge. Do not pack the flour into the cup, or scoop with the measuring cup straight from the bag/container. Alternatively, weigh the flour (1 cup = 120g or 4oz)
