What Do You Need To Make Easy Strawberry Galette?
- Flour: Use all-purpose flour to make galette crust dough.
- Butter: For this recipe, you should use cold unsalted butter, and cut it into small pieces.
- Sugar: The amount of sugar required for the crust is not too much at all, however, it is possible to cut it out if you want to minimize the sugar intake.
- Salt: The salt helps to enhance the flavor of the pie crust.
- Water: Water should be ice cold. The cold water helps to keep the butter cold so it does not melt. If the water is at room temperature or hot you’ll lose the flakiness.
- Strawberries: Use fresh strawberries and just chop the fresh strawberries and sprinkle them with a little sugar.
- Corn starch: Corn starch has thickening power. For a shiny, glossy filling we add corn starch.
