Fresh Triple Berry Galette

• Preheat Oven to 350°

Filling

• In a medium bowl mix together fresh raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. Add 1/3 cup sugar, vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract, and flour. Gently mix until coated. Set aside.

Galette Crust

• In a small bowl add 1/3 cup + 1 Tablespoon Crisco Shortening, 1 Cup Flour, and 1/4 tsp. salt.
• Using a pastry blender cut shortening into flour mixture until small pea size crumble forms.
• Add 3 Tablespoons ice cold water to center of flour crumb mixture.
• Gently swirl bowl until a soft ball forms in the middle. Spread the fingers on one hand to create a "hand rake" and gently gather the remaining crumble mixture with your "hand rake" until it has formed a ball. (The less you handle the dough the flakier it will be)
• Flour your rolling surface. Place dough ball down on floured surface and gently press down. Flip flattened dough ball over so floured side is face up.
• Flour your rolling pin and roll pie dough into a 12-14 inch circle.
• Trim your edges so they are smooth and the dough is in a perfect circle. You can place a large bowl down and go around it with a sharp knife to get it perfect if desired.
• Place dough on a silicone mat lined pizza baking sheet.

Finish Galette

• Spoon Fresh berry filling into the center of the galette dough leaving a 2 inch boarder. Gently fold a small portion of the dough up and over the filling and create a "pleat". Grab another portion of the dough and repeat the process over until you have gone all the way around the Galette. Pinching your "pleats" as you go so they will stick together.
• In a small bowl beat one egg and add 1 tsp of water. Mix well.
• Using a pastry brush, brush the edges of the galette with the egg wash making sure to tuck it in the pleats to help hold them in place.
• Sprinkle with coarse baking sugar or regular sugar.
• Place in oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until the Galette edges are golden brown and the filling is thick and bubbly.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.
• Run a spatula under the Galette to loosen and remove to serving plate or surface.
• Garnish with fresh berries and mint.
