Ingredients




3 cups blueberries fresh or frozen (no need to thaw)
1½ tablespoon cornstarch
1½ tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon for sprinkling
1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream for brushing
1 sheet puff pastry thawed

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F and line a sheet pan with parchment/baking paper. 2 Combine the blueberries with sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch. Mix well then set aside. 3 On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry out just a little then trim it into a rough circle, approximately 9 inches in diameter. Transfer to the sheet pan lined with baking paper. 4 Pile the blueberry filling into the center of the pastry then bring the edges in, overlapping as you fold the pastry up around the filling all the way around. 5 Brush with milk or cream and sprinkle with a little extra sugar. 6 Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp and the blueberries are soft, and the filling has thickened slightly. 7 Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with ice cream.
