Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold, diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk (for brushing)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, mix flour and sugar. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice-cold water until a dough forms.
- Chill the dough: Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the filling: Combine almond flour, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
- Roll out the dough: Divide into two equal pieces; roll each into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.
- Assemble the galette: Place one crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet; spread filling evenly, leaving a border. Top with the second crust and seal edges.
- Vent and bake: Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape. Brush with milk and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes until golden.
