Apricot Rhubarb Galette with Chai Syrup

June 12, 2018
IMG_9626.jpg

Guys, I have a confession to make. I've been slacking hard on the blog front. It's as though the fact that it's FINALLY nice weather has made me unable to respond to emails rapidly, spend less time on my laptop (and phone!) and go outdoors! And it feels SO GOOD. I've still been working on/shooting a bunch of recipes, but I'm finding that it's more difficult to take a moment to actually sit down and look at the photos I'm taking. But hey, that's what summers are for, right? 

This week is full of events. It's Molly's birthday, Pat's birthday, AND Father's Day, all in one weekend. I can't wait to celebrate everyone with a big double-family day in the city on Saturday. I'm also working on a "Summer Bucket List" which is something I try to do every year. Pat and I have yet to fully complete one so the goals for this year will be more feasible! I'm excited to share it on the blog next week.

I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather! I use this time of year as a reminder to myself to get outside and take advantage of the beauty everywhere, even if it sometimes comes before stuff you need to do for work - happiness is important too!

Apricot Rhubarb Galette with Chai Syrup

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and butter and mix with a pastry blender until butter is pea sized. In a small bowl, mix water and apple cider vinegar and add to the flour mixture, a tablespoon at a time until it just starts coming together (you may not need all 6 tablespoons of the water.) Shape into a disc, wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Crust:

  • 1 1/4 c. flour
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, very cold and cubed
  • 6 tbsp. ice water
  • 1/2 tsp. apple cider vinegar

In a small saucepan, bring all of the ingredients to a boil until it begins to thicken (about five minutes). Using a fine mesh sieve, strain out the liquid so the chai leaves are removed, into a glass container. Let cool to room temperature.

 

Chai Syrup:

  • 1/4 c. water
  • 2 tbsp. chai leaves
  • 1 tbsp. sugar

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. To make filling, mix all the ingredients together, adding the chai syrup in last, in a medium mixing bowl and set aside. 

To assemble the galette, remove dough from refrigerator and using flour, roll out until it is about 1/4 inch thick and circular. The circle doesn't need to be perfect. Transfer dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

Carefully dump the apricot and rhubarb filling into the center of the dough and shape as desired. Gently fold the edges of the galette around the filling so that they slightly overlap. Using a pastry brush, dust the edges with milk and then extra turbinado sugar. Bake about 30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling. Serve warm.

Filling:

  • 2 large rhubarb stalks, chopped
  • 3 small apricots, sliced
  • 1 tbsp. turbinado sugar
  • chai syrup (recipe follows)
  • 1 tsp. milk and turbinado sugar for finishing

Hi! I'm Katherine and I live in Brooklyn. I love baking, trying new food, exploring, traveling, reading, and taking photos.

Happy 💞 Day! Hope everyone had some good chocolate today. ❤️🥰
Went to Mexico a couple weeks ago and ate a diet of 95% tacos and refreshing cocktails. 🌴🍹 Getting out of the Northeast when it was 6 degrees wasn’t bad either. 🤗 Mexican food is one of my favorite cuisines and the seafood in Tulum was so fresh and flavorful. Next places in Mexico I want to visit: Mexico City and Oaxaca. #travel #mexico #tulum
Back on here after a nice looong break. 💆🏻‍♀️
In the past couple of months I felt zero urge to bake and it was nice to get away from it for a while to clear my head, relax, and not spend hours taking/editing photos. Moving forward I’ll be doing a little less baking, and more cooking and non-cooking photos, as I’m expanding my interests and also changing my diet (to involve wayyy fewer sweet things). 🌟
I still enjoy creating but I think it’s just starting to come through in different ways! This morning I was at the grocery store and I saw these beautiful artichokes, so I steamed them and made a tzatziki dipping sauce. It was SO simple and so good! 
I’m glad to be back taking some foodie pics. 😊 #f52grams
Better late than never! 🍪 The day of the #virtualcookieparty2018 is over soon and I ALMOST forgot to post my pic but here it is! This year I made brown sugar coconut macaroons, dipped in dark chocolate and topped with sprinkles (the more glitter the better). ✨ The recipe is really easy with just a few ingredients, and is on the blog now. Thanks @cosetteskitchen for hosting!
Giveaway! 🍹 This holiday season I’m looking forward to gift giving. There’s nothing better than festive holiday cocktails - one of my favorite winter drinks is a spicy margarita. I’ve partnered with @wandpdesign to give away a craft cocktail set pictured here. 🥂 To enter, leave a comment and tag a friend, and follow me @katherineinbrooklyn and @wandpdesign! Winner will be chosen 12/14 at noon EST - US entries only.
It’s #nationalcookieday so I had to post some pre-baked ones since I typically like the dough better than the finished cookie! 🍪 Hoping to make some more cookies this weekend. ✨✨
New recipe! It’s #yesyoucranberry. ✨✨ These cranberry cinnamon buns are super gooey and are on the blog now just in time for 🦃 day! #cinnamonbuns
Pink cake for getting through today. ✨ 
@patgmusic and I went to Wildair tonight for dinner! I’ve been dying to go there for years and am so glad we finally tried it. I’ll be dreaming of the oysters, bread, and olive oil forever. ✨✨✨
Feeling hopeful after the Midterm elections so I was motivated to post a recipe on the blog after almost a month of not posting. 😱 There’s work to be done but it’s a good reminder that it’s important to focus on the big issues in life, but also the little things that make you happy. And for me, the little things are doughnuts (and this food blog.) 🍩 So the recipe for these baked banana doughnuts is on the blog now. ✨
