Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup ice water, plus more if needed
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh plums, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the sliced plums, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss to coat.
- Assemble the galette: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add the filling: Spread the plum filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go.
- Bake the galette: Brush the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool and serve: Let the galette cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a richer crust, you can substitute half of the butter with shortening.
- Feel free to use other stone fruits, such as peaches or nectarines, in place of plums.
- If the crust browns too quickly, tent it with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
