"The tvorog (farmer's cheese) brings out the tartness of the blueberries, so it's perfect for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack with tea. Galettes have lovely rustic feel and are simpler to make than pies."

Recipe Card
For the crust:
ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 8 tablespoons cold and cut into cubes butter
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/3 cup tvorog
For filling:
ingredients
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 cup tvorog
Method
Step 1
In a mixer or large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
Step 2
Add the butter and mix until the dough is crumbly.
Step 3
Stir in the water, lemon juice, and tvorog until smooth, but try not to over mix the dough.
Step 4
Roll the dough into a thick disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for one hour, or the freezer for just 15 minutes.
Step 5
While you're waiting or the dough to chill, mix corn starch, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Add in the blueberries, coating them with the mixture.
Step 6
Remove the dough from the fridge or freezer and roll into a 10-12 in round. (Tip: To prevent sticking, roll out the dough on parchment paper and keep the plastic wrap between the dough and the rolling pin).
Step 7
Spread tvorog to the base of the dough, leaving at least a two-inch border. Spread the blueberry mixture on top and fold the edges of the dough toward the center, over the filling.
Step 8
Bake at 400°F for 35 minutes or until crust is golden. If the galette is baked too long, the tvorog will become rubbery.
