Ingredients

• 1 roll of pre-made pie crust
• 2 cups mixed fresh berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and sliced strawberries)

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Begin by rolling out your pre-made pie crust on a clean surface to about 12 inches in diameter.
2. In a medium bowl, gently mix the berries with lavender honey, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to meld flavors.
3. Carefully spoon the berry mixture into the center of the crust, leaving a 1.5-inch border.
4. Fold the edges of the crust over the filling, pleating evenly to create that classic galette look.
5. Place the galette on a parchment-lined pan. Optional: Brush the crust with a little milk or egg wash for a golden finish.
6. Cook on a stovetop grill pan over low heat, covered, for 20-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
7. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and drizzle extra lavender honey over the top before serving.
