Notes

For the flakiest dough, ensure butter, shortening, and water are very cold, and avoid overworking the dough. Cornstarch in the filling helps prevent a soggy bottom. This recipe can be made with all butter, but the crust may be less tender. If using frozen fruit, add directly without thawing and increase baking time by 5-10 minutes. Adjust sugar based on fruit sweetness; lemon or other citrus zest can brighten flavors. Rotate the baking sheet for even browning, and look for a deep golden crust and bubbly filling to indicate doneness.
Serve galettes warm, perhaps with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Leftovers can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 day, or refrigerated for up to 4 days. Unbaked galettes freeze well for up to 1 month (bake from frozen, adding 10-15 minutes), and baked galettes freeze for up to 2 months. Feel free to experiment with other seasonal fruits like peaches or blueberries.
