Instructions
Shortbread Dough
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, almond meal, and salt, mixing them together with a tablespoon.
- Then, introduce the cold, cubed butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
- Next, mix in the egg and knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough ball.
- Wrap this in cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Almond filling
- Start by placing the softened butter and granulated sugar in a medium bowl, then use an electric mixer to cream them together until smooth.
- Next, add the egg and vanilla, mixing well to combine.
- Finally, stir in the almond meal until the mixture is evenly smooth.
Baking
- Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prep a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out your shortcrust pastry to about 3 mm thick into a rough circle and lay it on the prepped sheet.
- Spread the almond mixture in the center, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border. Arrange the strawberry slices over the almond cream filling.
- Then, fold the pastry edges up to create a rim around the strawberries.
- Dust the whole galette with cane sugar. Bake it for 30-40 minutes until the edges are golden and the strawberries look juicy.
- Let it cool off completely before transferring to a plate.
- Enjoy it cold, topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of crushed pistachios.
Notes
Keep the galette in the fridge, wrapped in plastic or in an airtight container, for 2-4 days. For longer storage, it can be frozen for up to 3 months.
