Raspberry Galettes Recipes

Steps:

• For cookies:
• Combine flour, sugar, aniseed and salt in bowl of heavy-duty mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Add butter, yolk and vanilla and mix at low speed until coarse meal forms. Knead dough into smooth ball. Flatten to disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate 40 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll dough out on lightly floured surface to scant 1/8-inch thickness. Using 3 1/2-inch fluted cutter, cut dough into rounds. Transfer rounds to heavy large cookie sheets, spacing evenly. Gather dough scraps. Repeat rolling and cutting until all dough is used, chilling dough briefly if soft. Brush cookies with beaten egg. Bake until light golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to rack to cool. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Store cookies in airtight container.)
• For sauce:
• Puree raspberries and honey in blender. Strain. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• For filling:
• Beat crème fraîche and honey in chilled medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Transfer filling to pastry bag fitted with 3/8-inch (no. 3) star tip.
• Place 1 cookie on flat surface. Pipe filling in small stars over cookie. Place 1 layer of raspberries atop stars. Top with second cookie. Pipe filling in small stars over second cookie. Place layer of raspberries atop stars. Top with third cookie. Sift powdered sugar over. Place 1 raspberry in center. Repeat layering of cookies, filling and berries to make 3 more desserts. Spoon sauce onto plates. Transfer 1 galette to center of each plate. Garnish with mint leaves and serve.

Steps:

• Divide dough evenly into 8 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece to a 7-inch round, 1/8 inch thick. Transfer rounds to 2 large parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets, arranging several inches apart. (If rounds become too soft to handle, refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.)
• In a large bowl, toss to combine rhubarb, raspberries, cornstarch, and granulated sugar.
• Cover each round of dough with a heaping 1/2 cup rhubarb mixture, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold edges over rhubarb filling, leaving an opening in center; gently brush water between folds, and press gently so that folds adhere. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush edges of dough with water, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until crusts are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees, and bake until juices bubble and start to run out from center of each galette, 15 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely before serving.
