Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Gradually add cold water, stirring until a dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In another bowl, mix the cherries, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until well combined.
• On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Spoon the cherry mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges over the filling.
• Brush the edges with the beaten egg. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
• Let the galette cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
