Ingredients
milk
3/4 cup (room temperature)
unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (sifted)
large eggs
2 (at room temperature)
sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons (granulated)
pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon
unsalted butter
3 tablespoons (for greasing pan)
confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon (for dusting)
fresh fruit (sliced)
1 1/2 cups (your choice (peaches, nectarines, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, mangoes, etc.))
Instructions
1
Fifteen minutes before baking, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Prepare a pie plate or an oven-proof skillet.
2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, sifted flour, eggs, granulated sugar, and pure vanilla extract until well combined. Make sure there are no lumps in the batter.
3
Add the unsalted butter to the prepared pie plate or skillet, and place it in the preheated oven until the butter is fully melted.
4
Once the butter has melted, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Using a brush, coat the rim and the entire interior of the pan with the melted butter to prevent sticking.
5
Slowly pour the batter into the hot buttered pan. This will create the characteristic puff that the dish is known for.
6
Bake the galette in the oven for 20 minutes at 450°F (232°C). After this time, reduce the heat to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for another 8-10 minutes, or until the pancake is adequately puffed and golden brown.
7
Once done, remove from the oven and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately by spooning the fresh, sliced fruit into the center of the puffed pancake.
