twd ~ Cranberry Lime Galette
This is the first galette I've ever made. I wanted it to be spectacular! It's like pie - but easier because the dough is just folded over instead of trimmed and pinched. That's what I thought anyway. But my first bite had me thinking "what in the world did I do???"
To start, I'm not a big fan of Dorie's good for anything pie dough. So I. Found another recipe and tried to third it. I got too much salt, way too much salt.
Then I didn't have lime or orange so I used a little hibiscus tea for the liquid. What I didn't think about was that hisbiscus tea is tart and cranberries are tart so tart + tart = pucker!
It didn't help that my gallette sprouted holes in the oven and all the lovely brown sugary liquid filled the baking sheet and burned.
I couldn't even eat it, it went straight in the trash. A snow of powdered sugar couldn't even save this one.

way way way too tart :) but pretty! yours looks faB!
Oh, what a bummer. This was tart on it's own and adding another tart flavor would put it over the top. Usually galettes are faster and easier than pies, so I hope you don't give up on them entirely.
what a bummer :( maybe next time try sweet melissa's all butter pie dough. it's easy and really really good! and go for an orange next time ;)
I do love making galettes because they are so easy. Sorry you had so much trouble with this. HOpe you try it again with a different filling.
Bummer! Oh well, there's always next week.
Oh no! Sorry this one didn't work out for you. Mine looks like its twin!
