Strawberry Shortcake Galette
A simple, yet delightful strawberry tart
Ingredients
- 375 ml all purpose flour
- 60 ml caster sugar
- 2.5 ml salt
- 135 g chilled butter cut into cubes
- 1 egg large
- 5 ml vanilla essence
- +- 20 ml ice cold water
- 1 egg beaten, for egg wash
Strawberry Filling
- 500 g strawberries halved
- 45 ml caster sugar
- 5 ml fresh lemon juice
- 5 ml vanilla essence
- 10 ml corn flour
To Serve
- +- 15 ml icing sugar for sprinkling
- 250 ml clotted cream
Instructions
- For the pastry: Place dry ingredients into a food processor with cubes of butter. Blitz until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg, vanilla and water and blend until it all comes together to form a soft dough.
- Shape in a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or even overnight.
- Place all the strawberry filling ingredients into a bowl and gently mix until evenly combined and coated.
- Preheat oven to 180 Degrees Celsius.
- Roll out chilled pastry (1 cm thick) onto baking paper and transfer onto a baking tray.
- Arrange strawberries onto the pastry, leaving a generous border around the apples. Fold the edges inwards.
- Brush pastry edges generously with beaten egg.
- Bake for +- 30 minutes. The pastry should be golden and crisp and the strawberries should be soft with a bit of viscous strawberry sauce oozing out.
- Dust with icing sugar and serve with clotted cream, whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream.
