This recipe for mini raspberry galettes makes open-faced mini raspberry pies that are very easy to make (more so than full pies usually are). I made these mini galette pies with fresh raspberries and red currants too, but you can use any mixed berries.<\/p>\n\n\n

I think it's safe to say that pie-making scares a lot of us. That doesn't mean your life should be pie-less! The easiest pie you can make and a great \"entry-level\" easy recipe to start with on your quest to make pie is a galette recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n

What is a galette?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A galette is a freeform pie. Galettes are \"open-face\" so they have a base crust and edges, but no top crust. Galettes would fall under the single-crust pie category. You can make them big, like 9 or 10 inches, basically the size of a traditional pie, or you can make mini galettes that are just 4 or 5 inches in diameter. In an attempt at pie perfection, some people will bake galettes in a cake pan or a pie pan (or jumbo muffin pans for mini galettes). I don't think that's necessary. You can make galettes with all kinds of fruits and vegetables, from berries to zucchinis and summer squash. I've made galettes with apples<\/a> for an quick and easy alternative to a double-crust apple pie<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

What type of dough do you use to make a galette?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You have a few options. These mini raspberry galettes are made with a sweet crust (p\u00e2te sucr\u00e9e) but you can also use a regular all-butter pie crust<\/a>. It's really up to you. You can also decide if you want to make the dough by hand or with a food processor. You can even use a stand-mixer to make the dough. I've done it and it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This raspberry galette recipe is adapted from Mardi Michels Mixed Berry Galettes in her book In The French Kitchen with Kids (available on Amazon<\/a>). I also wrote a review of the book In The French Kitchen with Kids<\/a>, where this recipe comes from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These mini raspberry pies are easy to make and Mardi's recipe will guide you through the steps so that yours will turn out perfectly! Serve them with big scoops of homemade ice cream, like vanilla bean ice cream<\/a>, cardamom ice cream<\/a>, or even popcorn ice cream<\/a> for something different!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to do with pie dough scraps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inevitably, when you make a pie, you will be left with a pile of pie dough scraps. Gather them up and press them together to shape them into a disk and use them to make pie crust cookies<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n
