Am I the only one out there who has zero clue what day of the week it is anymore? I swear I’ve lost track of all sense of time, so much so that I hadn’t even realized it was Victoria Day weekend. It was kind of a stab to the heart when a co-worker pointed it out. Normally, we’d be opening the cottage with my in-laws this weekend. They have an adorable place in Prince Edward Island but seeing as the borders remain closed, so will the cottage. To console myself, I baked these Mini Blueberry Galettes. And yes, I know what you’re thinking; emotional eating isn’t the solution, Jen. But until you bite into these delicious galettes yourself, you can save me the lecture. They’re sweet, comforting and served perfectly topped with ice cream (though sadly not Cow’s ice cream). Next time you’re feeling down and out about being on lock-down, I dare you to try this recipe and tell me it doesn’t make you feel better. Oh and don’t worry about the calories: we can deal with our muffin tops collectively another day.

Here’s what you’ll need:
For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 9 tablespoon unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 6 tablespoon cold water
For the filling:
- 3 cups fresh blueberries
- 4 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Zest from one lemon
For assembly:
- 1 egg, beaten
- Coarse sugar for sprinkling
Here’s what you’ll do:
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar and salt. Add butter cubes and cut into the flour using a pastry cutter until butter is sufficiently chopped.
- Adding one tablespoon at a time, drizzle water over the flour mixture and toss with fork to distribute moisture. Repeat until no more dry piles of flour are found at the bottom and dough holds together.
- Divide dough evenly into 6 balls. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
- In a medium size bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and lemon zest. Add blueberries and lemon juice. Toss to coat.
- On a well-floured surface, roll each dough ball into an 8 inch circle. Spoon ⅙ of the blueberry mixture into the center of each disk, leaving 2” border. Fold edges over, overlapping slightly.
- Brush dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Place galettes onto prepared sheet pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
- Serve warm with ice cream & enjoy!
