Instructions:

1. Make the Crust:

• In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
•  Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough begins to come together.
• Transfer the dough onto a floured surface, form it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

2.Prepare the Filling:

• In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the blueberries evenly.

3. Assemble the Galette:

•  Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
•  Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
• Spoon the blueberry filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
• Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go to create a rustic look.

4. Bake the Galette:

• Brush the folded edges of the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if using.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
•  Allow the galette to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

5. Serve:

• Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
