Strawberry Cornmeal Galette Recipe, feat. Edd Kimber @theboywhobakes

One of the coolest things about living in London is getting the chance to meet super talented and driven people like Edd Kimber, i.e. The Boy Who Bakes. He was the first EVER winner of the hugely successful UK show The Great British Bake Off (or in America it's called The Great British Baking Show).

I'm a fan of his work, so it was a huge honor to be in his kitchen and watching him make magic! In this video, he shows us a incredibly simple and extremely DELICIOUS recipe that is perfect for summertime: strawberry cornmeal galette.

The way he describes how to make it in the video, it's foolproof. I hope you enjoy the video and I hope you try to make the dish! If you do, please let me know what you thought of it in the comments below!

And his awesome Instagram: @theboywhobakes

Here's what you need to make this recipe:

-175 grams of all-purpose flour
-75 grams of cornmeal
-125g unsalted butter
-1/2 teaspoon of table salt
-2 tablespoons of sugar
-4 tablespoons of water, added incrementally

-500 grams of sliced strawberries
-2-ish tablespoons sugar (depending on how sweet your fruit is)
-1 tbsp. cornflour (i.e. cornstarch)
-100 grams ground almonds/almond flour to soak up juices
-egg wash (1 egg, mixed)
-demerara (turbinado) sugar, to top

You'll bake this at 350 degrees F/180 degrees C for about 30 minutes, or until the pastry nice and golden.

This was so much fun to film, just wishing there was some of this galette left!

Great tip using ground almonds to absorb moisture to prevent soggy crust, but second for the fact that it adds a frangipane-like texture and flavor as well... I absolutely love this idea, thanx👍🏼

The filling has to bubble to activate the corn starch (so the corn starch is cooked).

The butter is missing in the recipe below the video. I have to try again with the right quantity ! (I have try with only 100g but it was good !)

Ugh! Katie, I love you, but I just had to throw out a batch because I made a mistake in my grams to cups conversion. I mean, you’re American, it’s an American show, and I’ll bet most of your followers are American —- can you throw us a bone and throw on some grams to cups conversions on the side...? I’m a big fan, and I promise to buy a scale and learn about grams, but in the meantime, I hope you’ll consider my request. Thank you and stay safe!!
