Time 5h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ pounds ricotta cheese
6 eggs, separated
½ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter
¼ cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons lemon zest

Steps:

  • To Make the Crust: Combine the flour, 6 tablespoons white sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk and the 1 egg. Work dough until it forms a ball. Do not knead or over work the dough. Generously flour a work surface and roll dough out to fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Place dough in a greased pie plate. Poke holes in the center with the tines of a fork. Do not prebake.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat ricotta, yolks, and sugar until lemon colored. Add lemon juice, zest, and vanilla.
  • Beat whites until stiff, fold into lemon mixture. Pour mixture into the prepared shell. Do not over fill the shell, it rises slightly when baking.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes. Let pie cool then refrigerate to set; the pie will become creamy and dense. Serve cold.

The ricotta filling was a bit too runny for my taste. I think I would have drained it better next time.

The pastry was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have rolled it out thinner next time.

The ricotta filling was a bit bland. I think I would have added some more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my galettes didn't turn out as flaky as I would have liked. The filling was also a bit too runny. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These rose galettes were a hit at my last dinner party! The ricotta filling was creamy and flavorful, and the pastry was flaky and golden brown. I added a sprinkle of chopped pistachios for an extra touch of flavor.
