Notes

To make your own whipped cream: whip 1/2 cup of cold heavy cream with 1 tablespoon of sugar (granulated or confectioner's) and 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract for 3-4 minutes until soft peaks form. Gently fold in ground cardamom. 
If you prefer using an egg wash to coat the top of your galette: beat 1 egg with 2 tablespoons of water and gently brush the dough with the mixture.
