Berry Almond Galette
When is a tart not a tart? (Loaded question!) When it is a galette or free form tart. No tart tin required, just plenty of fruit and great pastry.
Serving size is so subjective isn't it? When it comes to desserts at least. I mean, this was soooo good I had to play hard ball and walk away as I could have just kept going. It is SO good.
The fun thing about a galette is that it is meant to be rustic and family friendly. You just should want to tuck in with a couple of forks, no plates, just have at it. Which is pretty much what happened. It was gone in a flash. The pastry is quite delicate, so you do need to be a little bit gentle prior to it cooking, as you do need it to cradle the filling.
Frozen berries are completely acceptable. Especially in winter of course. Other fillings that would work well would be any stone fruit. The flowers for decoration are purely that, but how cute are they? Then get ready with some double cream, ice cream or mascarpone. All good options. Bon Appetit.
