Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add the beaten egg, mixing until the dough comes together in a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Transfer to a baking sheet.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  6. Fold the edges of the dough up over the filling, pressing gently to seal. Brush the crust with the beaten egg for a golden glaze.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and tender.
  8. Let the galette cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
