Ingredients
  

For the pastry

  • 420g/3 cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 200g/3/4 cup butter unsalted
  • 200g/3/4 cup sour cream full fat

For the filling

  • 1.5lbs/4 cups strawberries, sliced
  • 100g/1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 tbsp flour or cornstarch
  • 1 egg, beaten for brushing

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl combine the flour and salt, add cold and cubed butter, and using a pastry blender, cut it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sour cream and work it into the mixture with your hands until it comes together. Knead briefly, divide into two balls, wrap them in plastic wrap and chill in a fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Dust your work surface with some flour and roll out your pastry 10″ in diameter. Wrap the pastry around the rolling pin and transfer it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Wash and dry the strawberries, cut the green ends off and slice them. In a large bowl combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, flour and vanilla, toss gently to combine.
  • Arrange half of the sliced strawberries on the pastry leaving an inch wide border. Fold the border over the berries while brushing the pleats of pastry with a beaten egg to hold the pastry in place and also to give your galette a beautiful golden colour. Sprinkle the pastry with additional sugar if desired. Repeat the same process with another ball of pastry.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 min. Take both galettes out of the oven and let them rest for 20-30 minutes for the juices to settle before cutting and serving them.
