Ingredients
GLUTEN-FREE PASTRY
- 1 1/4 cups gluten-free 1:1 flour blend (Cup4Cup or King Arthur Measure-for-Measure recommended)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Redmond Real Salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 egg yolk (adds richness and helps bind the dough)
- 2 – 3 tablespoons ice water, as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
MAPLE PECAN FILLING
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Redmond Real Salt
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour (same as above)
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves (you can roughly chop if you’d like)
ASSEMBLY
- 1 egg, lightly beaten (for egg wash)
CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Gluten-Free Dough : In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut in cold butter until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs. Stir in egg yolk, vinegar, and ice water, adding just enough to bring the dough together. Shape into a disk, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes (up to 2 days).
- Make the Filling : In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, and flour. Whisk until thickened and glossy, about 3 – 4 minutes. Stir in chopped pecans and let cool slightly.
- Assemble the Galette : Preheat the oven to 375℉. Roll chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon filling into the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges gently over the filling, pleating as needed. Brush with egg wash, and bake for 35 – 40 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- Make the Cinnamon Whipped Cream : In a chilled bowl, whisk heavy cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Finish & Serve : Cool galette for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and if desired, drizzle with a touch of maple syrup or leftover filling for added depth. Serve warm or at room temperature with a generous dollop of cinnamon whipped cream.
