This galette is simple to make and has a buttery almond crust filled with juicy, sweet plums. Great for a cozy dessert or a treat in the afternoon.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 6-8 ripe plums, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1 egg, beaten for egg wash
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
All-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, salt, and cold cubed butter should all be pulsed together in a food processor until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs
While pulsing, slowly add ice water until the dough just comes together
Spread the dough out on a lightly floured surface and make a disk shape with it
Put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes after wrapping it in plastic wrap
Before you start cooking, heat the oven to 375F 190C
Put parchment paper on the bottom of a baking sheet
Sliced plums, sugar, almond flour, lemon juice, and almond extract should all be mixed together in a bowl
The dough should be chilled before you roll it out into a circle about 12 inches across
Place it on the baking sheet that has been prepared
Put the plum mixture in the middle of the dough, leaving about 2 inches of dough around the edges
Fold the doughs edges over the plum filling, making pleats as needed
Beat an egg and brush it around the edges of the dough
Then, put sliced almonds on top of the galette
After the oven is hot, bake the pie for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly
Let the galette cool down a bit before adding the powdered sugar
You can serve it hot or cold
