Ingredients
  

Crust

  • ¾ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons ice water, more if needed

Filling

  • 1 pound trimmed rhubarb, cut into 2-inch-long 1/4-inch-thick matchstick-size strips
  • ½ cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten
  • 1 8 ounce container crème fraîche

Instructions
 

Make crust:

  • Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in medium bowl to blend. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons ice water; stir until dough clumps together, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled. Let dough soften 10 minutes at room temperature before rolling out.

Make filling:

  • Combine rhubarb and 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon honey in medium bowl; let stand at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F.
  • Place a large sheet of parchment on work surface; sprinkle parchment with flour. Roll out dough on parchment to a 12-inch round. Transfer dough on parchment to large baking sheet. Starting in center of dough round, arrange rhubarb strips in concentric circles and slightly overlapping atop dough, leaving 1-inch plain border at edge. Gently fold dough border up over outer edge of rhubarb topping, folding and crimping dough to create decorative edge. Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of sugar over rhubarb. Dot rhubarb with butter. Brush dough edges with beaten egg. Sprinkle edges with 1 tablespoon sugar.
  • Place in oven and bake galette until rhubarb is tender and juices are bubbling, about 1 hour. Cool galette at least 30 minutes. Serve with whipped cream, creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream.
