Ingredients
 
 

Pie crust:

  • 180 g all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp granulated sugar
  • 150 g very cold salted butter
  • 3-5 tbsp. ice water

Filling and topping:

  • 200 g thin rhubarb stalks
  • 1/2 small lemon zest and juice
  • 2-3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 egg
  • pinch of salt
  • 3-4 tbsp flaked almonds
  • 1 tbsp turbinado sugar

Instructions
 

How to Make the Pie Crust:

  • Mix together flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Use a cheese slicer, if you have one, to slice the butter thinly – if not, you can simply dice the butter with a knife.
  • Add the sliced or diced butter to the dry ingredients, and using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until dough is crumbly but there are still some small visible pieces of butter.
  • Drizzle with ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, and mix gently with a fork until dough just comes together, do not knead the dough.
  • Form the dough into a ball and place it on a piece of plastic wrap.
  • Flatten into a disc, wrap in the plastic wrap and place in fridge for at least one hour but preferably overnight.

The Assembly and Baking:

  • Let the dough rest for a few minutes at room temperature.
  • Roll out the dough into a large circle about 1/8 – 1/4 inch (3-5 mm) thick, on a lightly floured surface. Make sure to roll and turn the dough so it doesn’t stick to the surface.
  • Using the rolling pin, transfer the dough to a baking sheet covered with baking paper.
  • Slice the rhubarb into batons and place them in a bowl. Toss with the lemon zest, juice, granulated sugar and cornstarch.
  • Arrange the rhubarb batons in a decorative pattern on top of the dough, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the dough over the fruit and press gently to seal.
  • Transfer the galette to the freezer for 15 minutes, meanwhile preheat the oven to 200°C (392 ℉).
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust turns golden. Enjoy!
