Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 60 milliliters Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 300 grams Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Begin by preparing the pastry dough. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, while mixing, until the dough comes together and is slightly sticky.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a medium bowl, combine mixed berries, sugar, lemon zest, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Gently toss until the berries are well-coated.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter.
Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pile the berry mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
Fold the edges of the dough up over the fruit, pleating as necessary, to form a rustic edge.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with milk. Brush the egg wash over the crust edges to ensure an even golden color when baked.
Place the pastry in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling.
Allow the pastry to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your nut-free mixed berry pastry warm or at room temperature.
