It is now Saturday. Try as I might I just didn’t find the time to get this great little dessert posted before midnight. But…at least this week I found the time to actually MAKE the FFWD pick.
The galette was super simple to put together. A simple sable cookie crust that went together in no time, fresh berries, lemon curd, and whipped cream gave us an elegant dessert. Since there are only two of us at home now I only made 1/4 of the recipe. This gave me more than enough do to make a 6″ tart with some dough left over for a cookie. I topped it with lemon curd AND whipped cream, {orie suggested one or the other….}and topped that with some fresh blueberries from the garden. Some strawberries from the market and some blueberries from the pasture behind the house. Sooooo good. This is definitely a keeper. Fresh, faintly sweet, flavorful.
Visit with the other Members of FFWD and drool over their galettes. You won’t be sorry.
The recipe is on page 464 of Dorie’s around my French table
Sorry for the dark pictures. I just got a new computer and haven’t yet learned how to use the picture edit.}

Fresh blueberries from the garden – you’re making me jealous 😉
I have yet to try the galette with whipped cream. I bet it tastes just as lovely.

Making a 1/4 of the recipe is a great idea. Mm lemon curd and whipped cream. 🙂 Delish!

I don’t usually get to check everyone’s results until Sat anyway… love the cream. Looks wonderful.

Oh my goodness- I love that you used the whipped cream and lemon curd. It looks absolutely divine. Nana made ones this week and I scoffed them down shamelessly- they were incredibly good. I will circle back when the schedule dies down and try this myself. Good bye any diet intentions but it will be SO worth it !! Tricia

Just beautiful! How lucky to have blueberries from your own garden!

I’m sure this was extra special with homegrown berries. We’re only in the midst of strawberry season now. It will be a while before blueberries are ripe.

[…] we have had the bush and I was excited to harvest the berries. I had enough berries to make the FFWD galette and a small batch of muffins. 1 3/4 cups AP flour 1/4 cup cornmeal 2/3 cup sugar 2 tsp baking […]

I love your choice of whipped cream. I bet it was sublime!

A quarter recipe sounds just perfect! And I love that you used curd and whipped cream…extra yummy!

Just beautiful – I’ll bet the whipped cream was a great additon, too!

What willpower and resistance you have to just make a small serving of this…I would have wanted to make the whole thing and then eaten way way too much of it…it really looks wonderful.

I am sure it was still Friday somewhere – that must count.
Bravo on limiting yourself to one quarter of the recipe 🙂
