Berry Galette. Ohhhhh Berry Galette...how much you sadden me. With your sugared fruit filling and flaky free formed crust, how can you be so.......so uneventful?
I guess it's my fault. I'm not a big fan of baked raspberries. I thought I should add some to see if I still felt that way. Yup. I do. The crust wasn't that tasty either. The flavor just wasn't there and the texture was so-so.
I tried to spruce it up a bit by pan frying it. It definitely heighten the buttery goodness from the crust, but it still wasn't fantastic. Yup. Definitely, not a a keeper for me.
My filling was composed of blueberries and raspberries. This week's hosts both did different combinations with strawberries. Maybe I should've tried strawberries. Hmmm...oh well. Check out Lisa's blog, Tomato Thymes in the Kitchen, and Andrea's blog, The Kitchen Lioness. They are this week's hosts.
Sorry to hear this was not for you. My berry galette could have used more sugar ( I cut back quite a bit) and my peach needed something more. Though the peach galette seemed to be much better the next day. They do make for a pretty picture! Your galette is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAww, sorry to hear this one was not for you. It looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. It looked so pretty and used such great ingredients, yet it was somehow lacking. I think it needed more sugar and this is something I almost never say. Yours does look tasty, even if it wasn't.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful. I wonder if flavouring the crust and adding some more flavour to the filling would help?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I totally agree. Maybe some cinnamon would help if I added it to the crust. Or maybe using another type of dough all together. :P
DeleteSorry this wasn't a hit - it looks lovely, though!
ReplyDeleteOh no, this is a D I S A S T E R !!!!
ReplyDeleteWe loved it so much, but added some ground almonds and sugar with vanilla & cinnamon and to the berries some diced nectarine worked like magic!
So sorry for you! Hope you'll love the popovers.
Ouuu!! That sounds great! Making it nutty would definitely help.
