Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- (makes two 12-inch galettes)
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (scoop and sweep the flour)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 ounces unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and refrigerated
- 4 ounces lard, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and frozen
- 1 egg
- 5 1/2 tablespoons ice-cold water
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Have all of your ingredients ready and chilled.
- Combine the flour, salt and sugar in a food processor. Add the butter and lard.
- Use the food processor to work the butter and lard into the flour. Work the fats into the flour until it starts to stick together when squeezed, but you want to keep some of the fat in pea-size pieces. If it is too soft and it won't stay in pieces, place the bowl in the freezer for about 15 minutes and then try again.
- Whisk the egg, add it along with the water and vinegar to the flour/lard mixture.
- Stir this with your hand or a wooden spoon, but be very gentle. The goal is to keep the pea-size chunks of fat intact. It will start to look shaggy and not dry. It should hold together when you squeeze it in your hand.
- Gently knead the dough into a ball. Divide the dough into two pieces and create round disks. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight.
