Cranberry Galette

Sisley White
My cranberry galette recipe is the quickest and easiest Christmas dessert to make. A soft shortcrust pastry wraps tart cranberries with a pinch of cinnamon to make a truly delicious Christmas galette pastry dessert. Best served with ice cream to add sweetness and creaminess to the fruity dessert.

Instructions
 

Shortcrust Pastry

  • Place the 175g plain flour and pinch of salt into a mixing bowl and add the 90g of butter cut into cubes.

  • Using a normal knife stir in the 2 tablespoons water little by little until the dough as come together.
  • Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Making the cranberry galette

  • Preheat the oven to 200ºC fan / 400ºF.
  • With the pastry at room temperature, roll out and place on a baking tray.
  • Mix together the sugar and the cinnamon.
  • Place the fresh or frozen 200g cranberries on the centre of the pastry leaving a border.
  • Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mix over. This is a tart dessert so if you want it sweeter add more sugar.
  • Fold the pastry border in the centre to make a case.
  • Lightly beat the 1 egg with the 1 tablespoon of milk and brush the pastry case, sprinkle with a little granulated sugar.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes - until golden brown. After the first 10 minutes reduce temperature to 180ºC. (or cover with aluminum foil)
  • Serve and enjoy hot. Best served hot with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • It's fun to make the pastry by hand but you can easily make this recipe using 1 sheet of ready-made shortcrust pastry from the supermarket.
