Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a tart and a galette? Put simply, a galette allows you a little more freedom! A tart is made with a tart ring, whereas a galette falls into the free-form realm of baking. If it messes up a bit while baking in any way, it doesn’t matter. In fact, any little mistakes just contribute to its more rustic appearance. How long will Cherry Galette stay fresh? In an airtight container at room temperature, this dessert will stay fresh for about 2-3 days. How do I prevent my Cherry Galette from getting soggy? If you’ve ever had a galette that was soggy at the bottom, that’s because the filling wasn’t made quite right. The amount of cornstarch in the mix should do a good job at keeping things from getting soggy, no matter how ripe and juicy your cherries are.
