Instructions

Step 1

Preparing the Dough

In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt together. Add the cold butter and chop it with a knife or blend it until it reaches a crumbly consistency.

Gradually add cold water while mixing the dough. Form it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Making the Almond Filling

In a bowl, beat the softened butter with the sugar until smooth.

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

Fold in the almond flour and mix gently until you achieve a creamy consistency.

Step 3

Preparing the Pears

Peel the pears, cut them in half, remove the cores, and slice them thinly.

In a bowl, mix the pear slices with sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon.

Servings

Perfect for any gathering or a cozy night in, serving this pear galette will surely impress your guests. For a **heartwarming** presentation, serve it warm with a **scoop of vanilla ice cream** 🍨 on the side. The cold ice cream melting over the warm, spiced pears offers a delightful contrast in every bite!

If you want something **lighter**, a dollop of **whipped cream** with a hint of vanilla essence will do just the trick. Don't forget to dust a little **powdered sugar** on top for an extra touch of elegance.

Want to elevate the experience? Pair this dessert with a **hot cup of tea or coffee** ☕. The warmth of the beverage enhances the flavors of the galette, making for a truly comforting treat.

Variations

We know that dietary needs can vary, so here are some **gluten-free** and **vegan** options 🌱:

Gluten-Free Variation 🌾: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a **gluten-free flour blend**. Ensure your workspace is free from cross-contamination to keep it strictly gluten-free.

Vegan Variation 🌼: Replace butter with a **vegan butter substitute**, and use a **flaxseed egg** (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) in place of the regular egg. Ensure the sugar you use is also vegan!

Faq

  • Why is my dough too crumbly?

    Make sure to add enough cold water, but do so gradually to avoid making it too sticky. Knead just until it comes together.

  • Can I use a food processor to make the dough?

    Yes, a food processor can help combine the ingredients quickly, but be careful not to over-process the dough.

  • How can I make my almond filling smoother?

    Ensure your butter is properly softened before mixing and beat it well with the sugar until it's fluffy. This will make the filling smoother.

  • Can I prepare the dough in advance?

    Yes, the dough can be made a day ahead. Keep it well wrapped in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.

  • What’s the best way to store leftover galette?

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven to bring back its crispiness before serving.

  • How can I prevent the galette from becoming soggy?

    Make sure to slice the pears thinly and evenly, so they cook properly and don't release excess moisture.
