Happy Independence Day to all my American friends! Have an awesome fun-filled Weekend 🙂

‘Can I help you, mommy?’ is a question I get asked frequently. To keep him away from the TV and all the possible screens we have these days, I hand my 4-year-old a tomato and a butter knife with which he manages to cut some uneven slices, which btw I think he does a pretty good job for his age.

The other work Nivaan proudly does is crushing ginger and garlic using mortar and pestle, whisking up a chocolate cake, or lining up cupcake trays. Even after all the work, my little helper was doing, it never occurred to me that I could post some recipe which kids could enjoy doing with very little assistance.

How to shape a galette?

The best part of shaping a galette is that you don’t have to worry about a perfect shape.

• Try to make it a perfect circle.
• Imperfectly create folds (Rustic looks excellent)
• Shape into one big galette or make several smaller ones.

Galette tends to be more appetizer if it’s rustic looking. The uneven surfaces and edges give it an Aha factor. So its ideal to make with kids because it doesn’t have to be perfect. If you get the store brought pie crust, then it’s one step less.

With summer fruits in abundance and their tiny hands ready to shape, its fun!. Its also a good activity for playdates where kids can use their fillings like jams and jellies, like a make your pizza party. Once the galette goes in the oven, be prepared for the question. 🙂

‘Is it done yet?’ every minute.

How to make a good pie crust from scratch?

Always use ice-cold water and cold butter when making your pie dough.

Wrap and let the pie dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using it.

For the flakier crust, replace 2 tablespoons of butter with cold shortening. I like the Crisco brand better.
