Ingredients
  

For the Dough:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

5-7 tablespoons ice water

For the Filling:

2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)

¼ cup sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

For Assembly:

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions
 

Make the Dough:

    - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

      - Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form it into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

        Prepare the Filling:

          - In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss until the blueberries are well coated. Let the mixture sit while the dough chills.

            Preheat the Oven:

              - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

                Roll Out the Dough:

                  - On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

                    Assemble the Galette:

                      - Spoon the blueberry filling into the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go to create a rustic edge.

                        Brush and Sprinkle:

                          - Brush the edges of the galette with the beaten egg to give it a golden color during baking. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top for additional crunch and sweetness.

                            Bake:

                              - Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.

                                Cool and Serve:

                                  - Allow the galette to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
