  • 1 tablespoon 2g lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon 12g fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon 14g melted butter
  • 375 F 35-40 minutes

Instructions
 

  • Add flour, salt, sugar and softened butter to a food processor, process until combined. Add the cold butter, pulse until just combined, you will still be able to see some larger pieces of butter, this will create flakey layers.
  • Pulse in the beer until completely incorporated into the dough. Dough will be very soft.
  • Lay a long sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface, add the dough to the center.
  • Form into a flat disk. Wrap disk tightly in plastic wrap. Chill until firm, about 3 hours and up to three days.
  • In a large bowl add the blackberries sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice. Toss to coat. Allow to sit while you prepare the dough.
  • Knead the dough lightly in hands until dough comes together and warms slightly. Roll out on a lightly floured pieces of parchment paper to form a large circle, about ¼ inch thick. Transfer the dough circle and the parchment paper to a baking sheet.
  • Pour off any liquid that has accumulated in the blackberry bowl.
  • Add blackberries to the center of the galette.
  • Fold the bare edges of the dough up over the filling, using the parchment paper if necessary.
  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer, freeze for 15 minutes. Alternately you can chill in the fridge for 30-45 minutes (or overnight). This will help the galette stay together when baking and help the crust to be lighter and flakier.
  • Brush the crust with melted butter, sprinkle with remaining sugar.
  • Bake at 400 for 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Allow to cool prior to serving.
