Sour Cherry Galette Recipe
Even though the sour cherry season has passed, I trust that many people stock cherries in their freezers. Based on the authority given to me by my trust, I wanted to share this delicious recipe before winter arrives. Although it is a dessert that can also be eaten in winter, it is much more delicious in summer with a scoop of ice cream. In summary, if you have the opportunity, add ice cream to the plate while serving.
Glette is a more rough version of fruit tart, made without any proper shaping. I had already shared the recipes for the apricot galette, plum galette and black mulberry galette. There may be differences in the amounts of ingredients. As there is not only one way to reach the same result, the recipes may differ.
How Does Galetta Taste?
I'm not sure how much it is possible to describe the taste of a food, but if I was asked to describe the taste of galette, I would say that it has a taste that drags brain from happiness to happiness with the transmission of sour and sweet flavors to the brain consecutively by the taste receptors while eating buttery crispy dough at the same time with the baked fuits and slightly thickened fruit sauce made of the fruit juice that leaks while baking.
For galette, tart and pie doughs to be as crispy as possible, it is necessary to use as much butter as possible and as little flour as possible. The easiest method to do this without encountering any problems while shaping the dough is to use the butter as cold as possible. The softer the butter, the more flour it will need. In order not to have to use too much flour and to obtain a hard dough, we need to use cold butter as well as kneading it with as little contact as possible and as quickly as possible. If you have the opportunity, it will be more appropriate to work in an air-conditioned environment or in relatively cool hours while making this dough in summer.
