1-Gathering and Preparing Ingredients: First, wash your mixed berries and measure out 2 1/2 cups, then mix them with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or vanilla extract in a bowl. Make sure your dough is ready: combine the ingredients for two crusts, chill it, and roll it out into 12-inch circles before cutting into 5.5- to 6-inch rounds. Place these on baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy cleanup.

2-Assembling the Galettes: Next, spoon about 1/4 cup of the berry filling into the center of each dough round, leaving space at the edges. Fold the edges over the filling carefully, securing them tightly to maintain the shape during baking. Brush the folded edges with 2 tablespoons of whole milk and sprinkle on coarse sugar or chopped nuts if you want that extra touch. At this point, chill the assembled galettes for 20 minutes to 4 hours to help them set properly.

3-Baking and Serving: Bake your galettes at 375°F (191°C) for 25-28 minutes until the edges are lightly browned and the filling is bubbling. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before serving, perhaps with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful finish.
