Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (Approx. 960 calories)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes (Approx. 1624 calories)
  • 1/2 cup cold water

For the Filling:

  • 3 cups fresh cranberries (Approx. 186 calories)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (Approx. 774 calories)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
    • Add the chilled butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
    • Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough comes together.
    • Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat and Prepare:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch circle.
  3. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a bowl, toss the fresh cranberries with sugar and cornstarch until evenly coated.
  4. Assemble the Galette:
    • Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Pile the cranberry mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
    • Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating a rustic, free-form shape.
  5. Bake to Perfection:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cranberries are bubbling.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Allow the galette to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
    • Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
