Best Blueberry Custard Galette – VIDEO RECIPE

how to cook Best Blueberry Custard Galette?

STEP 1

To start, preheat the oven to 200°C (400⁰F). In a bowl, combine the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla sugar, and starch. Add in the orange zest and pour in the orange juice. Mix everything together thoroughly.

TIPS: Beware of store-bought peach juice, as it may contain high levels of citric acid that can curdle your milk. To avoid this unfortunate mishap, dilute the juice with water until you’ll get the necessary amount. This way, you can enjoy your peachy concoctions without any curdling surprises.

TIPS: Want to make the orange flavor in the custard even better? Just grind some sugar with freshly grated orange zest. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!

STEP 2

Next, pour the milk into a saucepan and heat it until it boils. Take a third of the hot milk and quickly stir it into the orange-egg mixture.

STEP 3

Then, pour this mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk and cook over medium heat. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens.

STEP 4

Once the custard is done, cover it with cling film, making sure it touches the surface to prevent a film from forming. Let it cool.

STEP 5

Now, let’s prepare the shortbread dough with yogurt according to this recipe.

TIPS: Swap out the shortbread dough with yogurt (no eggs needed!) for a delicious alternative. Try using a basic shortbread dough, or experiment with nutty or corn flour-based options.

STEP 6

Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and divide it into two parts. Roll each part into a circle with a diameter of 25 cm. This way, you’ll get 2 galettes at once!

TIPS: For a hassle-free experience, try rolling out your shortbread dough between two sheets of parchment paper, Teflon sheets, or special silicone sheets designed specifically for rolling out dough. This method ensures that your dough won’t stick and makes the process more convenient.

STEP 7

Spread a thick layer of the cooled custard in the center of each circle, leaving a 4 cm distance from the edge.

STEP 8

Place some frozen blueberries on top of the custard.

TIPS: If you don’t have frozen blueberries, fresh ones can be a fantastic alternative. They’ll add a burst of flavor to your recipe and give it a delightful twist.

STEP 9

Fold the edges of the dough over the berries, creating a nice crust.

STEP 10

In a small bowl, lightly beat an egg with a whisk, then add water and stir.

STEP 11

Brush the edges of the galettes with this egg brush and sprinkle some sugar on top.

STEP 12

Place the galettes on a baking sheet and bake it in the preheated oven at 200°C (400⁰F) for about 25 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.

STEP 13

Once the galettes are done, let them cool for at least 20 minutes.

STEP 14

To add a finishing touch, decorate the galettes with strips of orange zest.

TIPS: To zest an orange, you have a few options. You can use a vegetable peeler, a special zester, or a small sharp knife.

STEP 15

Finally, cut Best Blueberry Custard Galette into equal pieces and serve it with a nice cup of tea. Enjoy your meal!
