Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp ice water
- 2 cups mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 2 tbsp granulated sugar. Cut in 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter cubes using a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 2: Add 3 tbsp ice water one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently until the dough comes together; form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Step 3: Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 4: In a medium bowl, toss 2 cups mixed fresh berries with 1 tbsp cornstarch, 3 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until berries are evenly coated.
- Step 5: Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle; transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 6: Spoon the berry mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges over the filling, pleating to make a rustic edge.
- Step 7: Brush the dough edges with 1 beaten egg and sprinkle with 1 tbsp turbinado sugar.
- Step 8: Bake for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden and the berries are bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving.
