    simple recipe for shortcrust pastry with blueberries and crumble

    Why is it worth baking such a rustic blueberry tart?

    Today I invite you to try a super simple and exceptionally delicious shortcrust tart with blueberries with a delicate almond flavor. With this recipe, I tested a new recipe and a new way of preparing shortcrust pastry for a tart. I saw this recipe on TikTok from Bake it with Mel and I must admit that the dough turns out very nice and is easy to work with. However, it requires precision in measuring ingredients, and it’s best to do it using a scale, not cups. The baked cake is delicious and stays fresh for a long time – I even took it on vacation, and it survived 1600 km in the car in the heat! That’s why it’s worth saving for later!

    What ingredients are essential for baking the tart?

    To make such a rustic tart at home, you will only need a few basic ingredients that are readily available. Below is a condensed list of the products I used and possible substitutes.

    • butter – I used extra 82% butter, you can also ultimately use a butter mix or vegetable butter, remember that the butter should be soft, so take it out of the fridge at least two hours in advance
    • almonds – I added ground almonds (almond flour) to both the dough and the crumble; you can grind almonds yourself for this – I recommend grinding almond flakes, as you’ll grind them in a second; if you don’t have almonds, add more wheat flour instead
    • potato flour – you can also use potato starch or another starch – its purpose is to thicken the juice produced from the fruits during baking; if you don’t have starch, add, for example, a tablespoon of jelly powder or regular wheat flour

    Can galette be prepared with other fruits?

    Of course! Instead of blueberries, other small seasonal fruits such as raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, plums, apricots, peaches, nectarines, or a mix of seasonal fruits will work great. Larger fruits should be cut into smaller pieces beforehand.
