You might use a food processor, if you have one or even your fingertips, to rub bits of the butter into the flour mixture.

I'm going to make this tomorrow. I'm brand new here, so excuse me if this sounds stupid, but is it ok to use a normal blender cause i don't have a pastry blender? Any alternatives if its not? Thank youu. Yummy!

Friends say they are going to try it with store bought pie crust. :( would not be the same! I too made the crust in the food processor, but because the butter was frozen it bogged it too much. Had to let it warm a bit. PLEASE use the dried mushrooms! Awesome woodsy taste. And can anyone say pass the red wine please! Whata perfect pairing. This recipe was totally worth the effort!

Would it be ok in the fridge for two days? Thanks! Hi Deb – I am wondering how far in advance I can make the dough for the crust. Would it be ok in the fridge for two days? Thanks!

Dont have a food processor, made it with hands and 2 knives - this is for those of you who are not super-foodies. Only regret is SO VERY BUTTERY. Cant really eat this too often.

Just wanted to say that I made this recipe today - made some adjustments in the filling, but what I feel is most important to share is the fact that the dough can be easily made in a food processor, and it is nonetheless incredibly flaky and tasty. Just pulse the flour and butter (I also suspect that the freezing is unnecessary, and it's enough to have the butter very cold, but I did freeze them so not sure), then add the liquids in two-three batches while pulsing. It works great, and definitely sounds easier than the way described in the recipe (especially since we don't have a pastry cutter). Better late than never…

I've been contimplating what to make for Thanksgiving and was mulling over a wild mushroom risotto but now that I see this beautiful galette I may have to make a tough decision. Risotto or galette? I think my dinner guests would be happy with either one. That looks so good!

Alternative filling suggestion for the fungi-tarians could be feta, diced figs and bacon. It looks delicious tp me.
