FILLING
For cookies: Combine flour, sugar, aniseed and salt in bowl of heavy-duty
mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Add butter, yolk and vanilla and mix
at low speed until coarse meal forms. Knead dough into smooth ball. Flatten
to disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate 40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F. Roll dough out on lightly floured surface to scant
1/8-inch thickness. Using 3 1/2-inch fluted cutter, cut dough into rounds.
Transfer rounds to heavy large cookie sheets, spacing evenly. Gather dough
scraps. Repeat rolling and cutting until all dough is used, chilling dough
briefly if soft. Brush cookies with beaten egg. Bake until light golden,
about 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to rack to cool. (Can be prepared 3 days
ahead. Store cookies in airtight container.)
For sauce: Puree raspberries and honey in blender. Strain. (Can be prepared
2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
For filling: Beat creme fraîche and honey in chilled medium bowl
until stiff peaks form. Transfer filling to pastry bag fitted with 3/8-inch
(no. 3) star tip.
Place 1 cookie on flat surface. Pipe filling in small stars over cookie.
Place 1 layer of raspberries atop stars. Top with second cookie. Pipe
filling in small stars over second cookie. Place layer of raspberries atop
stars. Top with third cookie. Sift powdered sugar over. Place 1 raspberry
in center. Repeat layering of cookies, filling and berries to make 3 more
desserts. Spoon sauce onto plates. Transfer 1 galette to center of each
plate. Garnish with mint leaves and serve.
Serves 4.
