Ingredients

For the pastry

  • 105 g all purpose flour ¼ cup plus 2 tbsp
  • 35 g whole wheat pastry flour ¼ cup
  • 40 g unsalted butter ⅙ cup/ 2 ½ tbsp
  • 2 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the filling

  • 1 pear
  • 2 tablespoon chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon hazelnuts roughly chopped/crushed
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 15g, melted

Instructions

To make the pastry

  • Put the flours and butter in a food processor and pulse until it forms a breadcrumb-like texture. Add the sour cream and lemon juice and pulse until it comes together as a ball. You can also make by hand by rubbing the butter into the flour then mixing in other ingredients.
  • Remove the dough from the food processor, bring it together in a ball then wrap in plastic wrap/cling film. Chill ideally for at least 30 minutes. Note you can make it a day or two ahead.

To make galettes

  • Preheat oven to 375F/190C.
  • Cut the pear in half, remove the core and peel each half. Slice each half relatively thinly with slices across the way. 
  • Divide the dough in half and roll out each half into an oval around 1 ½ times the length of the pear. Transfer the dough to a lined baking sheet. (I know, I didn't do this in the video but it would be easier! Also I did more of a circle- again oval better)
  • Lay a half cut pear on each and gently press the slices to one side to fan out slightly. Fold in the edges, pinching together slightly, to hold the pear in place.
  • Tuck some chocolate chips under the pastry and add a couple on top. Add a few pieces of hazelnut then brush the top with butter (it might be easier to do before you add the hazelnut, as you prefer).
  • Bake the galettes for around 20 minutes until the pastry is gently browned.
