Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Tip: Make sure to grease the parchment paper with a small amount of butter to prevent the pastry from sticking.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cold butter, and salt. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Tip: Be gentle when mixing the dough to avoid developing the gluten.
- 3
Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring the mixture with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball.
- 4
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to chill and firm up.
- 5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of about 3 mm (1/8 inch). Transfer the dough to a 20 cm (8 inch) tart pan with a removable bottom.
Tip: Make sure to press the dough evenly into the corners of the tart pan.
- 6
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture turns a deep amber color and forms a smooth, creamy dulce de leche.
Tip: Be careful when stirring the mixture as it can burn easily.
- 7
Pour the dulce de leche into the pastry shell and smooth the top with a spatula.
Tip: Make sure to spread the dulce de leche evenly to avoid any gaps or bubbles.
- 8
Bake the galette for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the dulce de leche is bubbly.
Tip: Check the galette frequently during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent overcooking.
- 9
Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Tip: Be patient and let the galette cool completely before slicing and serving.
- 10
Dust the galette with confectioner's sugar before serving, if desired.
Tip: This adds a nice textural element and a touch of sweetness to the dish.
- 11
Serve the galette warm, garnished with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
Tip: The warm galette is best served with a scoop of cold ice cream to balance the flavors.
