Mini Blueberry Galettes

For those of you who have made New Years resolutions and plan on keeping them, I applaud you. For those of you like me, here’s an awesome dessert recipe that’s also super simple to put together. When the end of summer hits I tend to go on a berry binge and freeze and preserve as many berries possible. This is a great time to take advantage of some of those frozen berries. These mini galettes are great to have in the morning with your coffee or at night, slightly warmed with a bowl of vanilla ice cream. Happy New Years! Now lets start it right by forgetting the diets and baking these awesome sweets, okay?

Ingredients:
cream cheese crust:
1 cup all purpose flour, plus more for dusting

6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
4 ounces cold cream cheese, cut into small cubes
1 tablespoon cold water
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

8 ounces fresh or frozen blueberries
1 lemon, zested and juiced
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground clove

1 egg, lightly beaten

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
3. Place butter and cream cheese into the bowl with the flour mixture and cut together until fully incorporated. The mixture should be evenly grainy.

6. Place the ingredients for the filling into a mixing bowl and gently stir together until well combined and the blueberries are well coated.
7. Once the dough has chilled, place it onto a lightly floured surface and roll out until ¼ inch thick. Using a 2 ½ to 3 inch circle cutter cut out as many circles possible, about
8. Re-roll the scraps and make more circles.
9. Whisk together the egg and water and brush a thin layer over each disc. Place 2 teaspoons of the filling into the center of each disc of dough and fold the sides towards the center, until all the sides have been tucked in.
10. Brush the tops of the dough with egg wash and sprinkle with a small amount of sugar.
11. Place the mini galettes onto a baking sheet, lined with parchment, and bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.
12. Allow the glaettes to cool slightly before serving.
