Step 2

Cut butter into small cubes and place in the fridge to firm up while you get the rest of your ingredients together.

Step 3

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add in the cold butter and use your hands to press it into the flour mixture until you get quarter sized crumbs.

Step 4

Add cold water and combine until dough forms a nice ball but is still slightly sticky.

Step 5

Take the formed ball of dough and shape into slightly flattened disk.

Step 6

Wrap the disk in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This is important to keep the butter from melting so that the crust will be nice and flaky. The chilled dough is also much easier to work with for rolling out.

Step 7

You can also make the pie dough up to 2 days in advance and store in the fridge until ready to use!

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Step 9

Lightly flour a clean surface. Roll out dough to about ¼ inch thick and about 12 inches across. If you want a cleaner looking galette, you can use a knife to trim the edges of dough to make a perfect circle but it's not necessary.

Step 10

Place the dough on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Step 11

Pit the rainier cherries and slice in half.

Step 12

Gently toss together the pitted and sliced rainier cherries, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch until evenly coated.

Step 13

Arrange the cherries on your pie dough, leaving about an inch around the edges.

Step 14

Gently fold over the edges of the dough overlapping as you go.

Step 15

Brush the edges lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with a little extra sugar, if desired.

Step 16

Bake at 400°F for 30-40 minutes or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.

Step 17

Let cool for at least 10 minutes, then slice and serve with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream.
