Ingredients

10 Servings

Dough

½

cup pecans

1

cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2

teaspoons sugar

½

teaspoon kosher salt

¼

teaspoon ground cinnamon

½

cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Filling and Assembly

12

ounces blueberries (about 2 cups)

1

tablespoon cornstarch

teaspoons fresh lemon juice

¼

cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
All-purpose flour (for surface)

2

tablespoons milk, half-and-half, or heavy cream

Preparation

  1. Dough

    Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°. Toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until fragrant and slightly darkened, 10–15 minutes; let cool. Pulse pecans in a food processor until the consistency of coarse meal. Add flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon and pulse just to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces remaining.

    Step 2

    Transfer to a large bowl; drizzle with 4 Tbsp. ice water and mix, adding another tablespoonful of water if needed, just until mixture comes together. Gently pat dough into a 6″-diameter disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour.

    Step 3

    Do Ahead: Dough can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled, or freeze up to 1 month.

  2. Filling and Assembly

    Step 4

    Preheat oven to 375°. Toss blueberries, cornstarch, lemon juice, and ¼ cup sugar in a large bowl.

    Step 5

    Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12″ round. Carefully transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Mound blueberries in center of dough, leaving a 2″ border. Fold edges over, overlapping slightly. Brush dough with milk and sprinkle with sugar.

    Step 6

    Bake galette until crust is dark golden brown and filling is bubbling, 45–50 minutes. Let cool before serving.

    Step 7

    Do Ahead: Galette can be baked 1 day ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
