Butternut Squash Galettes

Ingredients

    blank

    • Butternut squash (sliced thinly)

    • Red onion (sliced thinly)

    • Seasoned creme fraiche

    • Flaky sea salt

    • Dried chilli flakes (optional)

    • Fresh thyme leaves

    •  Acacia Honey

    blank

    • 1 Egg (for glazing)

    • Parmesan (optional)

    Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper.

    2. Using a food processor or your hands, rub the fat into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs.

    3. Add in a tablespoon of cold water at a time and knead until a fairly shaggy dough is formed - be careful not to overwork the pastry at this stage, it’s ok if it is still a little crumbly!

    4. Wrap the dough and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.

    5. Divide the dough into 5 equal pieces and roll each one out individually to the thickness of a £1 coin (you could also roll the dough out as one piece and use a cutter to shape your galettes, but you miss out on the uneven edge that makes a galette!)

    6. Layer your filling ingredients on the centre of each galette, before folding the edges over the top and pressing down lightly. You should do this in a few goes around each galette, and the pastry should only cover about an inch of the filling. There should be a gap in the centre allowing the filling to show.

    7. Use a beaten egg to glaze your pastry and season it with sea salt or parmesan.

    8. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.

    9. Top with chilli and drizzle with Acacia Honey for a delicious hot-honey flavour.

    10. Serve still warm with a side salad for a delicious autumn lunch.
