Blueberry and Blackberry Galette with Cornmeal Crust

The rich, buttery pastry dough is easy and forgiving. Simply roll it out onto parchment paper with a lightly floured rolling pin, and then use the parchment to transfer it to a baking sheet. If you're lucky enough to find wild blueberries like the ones that grow in Maine, use them in this rustic summer tart.
Yield: 10 servings (serving size: 1 wedge)
Ingredients
- Pastry:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (about 7 3/4 ounces)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/3 cup fat-free buttermilk
-
Filling: - 4 cups blueberries
- 2 cups blackberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fat-free milk
- 1 large egg white
- 1 1/2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
Preparation
1. To prepare pastry, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients (through salt) in a food processor; pulse two times. Add butter to flour mixture; pulse 4 to 5 times or until mixture resembles coarse meal. With processor on, slowly add buttermilk through food chute; process just until dough forms a ball. Gently press dough into a 4-inch circle on plastic wrap; cover. Chill 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 350°.
3. Unwrap and place dough on a sheet of parchment paper. Roll dough into a 15-inch circle. Place dough and parchment on a baking sheet.
4. To prepare filling, combine berries and next 3 ingredients (through juice) in a medium bowl; toss gently to coat. Arrange berry mixture in center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges of dough toward center, pressing gently to seal (dough will only partially cover berry mixture).
5. Combine fat-free milk and egg white in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Brush dough with milk mixture; sprinkle turbinado sugar evenly over dough. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until pastry is golden brown. Let stand 30 minutes; cut into wedges.

This is a great recipe that, aside from the dough rolling, is very easy to prepare. I second the suggestion to use plastic wrap to make rolling the dough easier. I really enjoyed this because it isn't too sweet. However, I thought the filling had too much of a flour texture, which is why I only gave this four stars.08/02/09

Used all fresh blueberries. Tasted great, however I used the weight given to measure the flour, and the dough was really gooey. Maybe the cup measure is more accurate?07/15/09
