Ingredients
Pastry
1 2/3 cups flour
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup butter, cut into pieces.
About 2 to 4 tablespoons ice-cold
water
Filling
1/2 cup ground almonds, lightly
toasted
1 tbsp flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 pounds strawberries , hulled
and halved if large
Method
Pastry
Mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add
the butter and work with the fingers to a mealy
texture. Mix with the fingers to crumbs. Mix the
water in quickly until the dough just holds
together. Pat into a disk, wrap, and refrigerate
half an hour.
Filling
Heat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Roll
out the chilled dough into a circle and set on a
baking sheet. Mix the almonds, flour, and sugar.
Toss the strawberries with the sugar mix and arrange
on top. Spread the almond strawberry mixture over,
leaving a 3-inch/7.5 cm margin. Fold the edges of
the galette dough up over the berries and bake until
the crust is crisp and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
Serve warm with sweetened whipped cream, flavoured
with vanilla or cinnamon.
