Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced Make sure the butter is very cold.
  • 0.25 cup ice water
For the filling
  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped Fresh rhubarb should be firm and crisp.
  • 0.5 cup sugar Adjust based on the tartness of rhubarb.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled, diced butter, and blend until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the ice water until a dough forms.
  3. On a floured surface, gently roll the dough into a circle, keeping a rustic look.
  4. In another bowl, toss together the rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
  5. Spoon the rhubarb mixture onto the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
  6. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.
Baking
  1. Bake the galette for 30-35 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
  2. Let it cool for a few moments before serving.
