1 ½tablespoonssugar
1teaspooncornstarch
1small egg
1Tablespoonwater
1Tablespooncoarse turbinado sugar
2Tablespoonspowdered sugar
Instructions
For the Pie Crust:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 teaspoons sugar, and salt.
Scatter the vegetable shortening over the flour mixture and use a fork to mash it in. The mixture will resemble coarse sand.
Add the butter over the course flour mixture and use a fork to mash it in.
Sprinkle the ice water over the dough one tablespoon at a time. Press the dough together. Stop adding ice water once the dough has come together.
Divide the dough into 2 pieces. Flatten the dough and shape them into disks.
Wrap the dough disks tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Roll out each piece of dough to about 6 inch rough circles.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the dough circles on it.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For the Filling:
In a medium bowl add the raspberries, cornstarch, and 1 ½ tablespoons sugar. Stir gently to coat.
Divide the raspberry mixture onto the middle of each circle and leave about an inch of dough around the edges. If the berries are super juicy, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the bowl.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the raspberries, divided evenly.
Pinch the dough up and around the berries to form a small basket.
Combine the egg and water and brush it onto the edges of the dough.
Sprinkle the coarse turbinado sugar over the egg wash on each galette.
Bake 25 - 30 minutes or until the crust is browned.
Remove from the oven and cool slightly.
Place the powdered sugar in a small fine mesh strainer and shake gently over each galette.
