PLUM GALETTE

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Pate Sablee, recipe follows
Flour, for dusting
6 to 8 large plums, (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into 1/4-inch wedges
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 lemon
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoons blanched, slivered almonds, toasted, optional
Special Equipment: A rimless baking sheet, pastry brush
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons butter, cut in 1/2-inch cubes, chilled
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons ice water
Special Equipment: A food processor

Steps:

  • Dust a clean, dry surface with a small amount of flour (take a pinch between your fingers and then throw it onto the countertop like you were shooting dice). With a rolling pin, roll the pate sablee using quick, short strokes from the middle of the dough, until you've formed a circle roughly 10-inches in diameter and about 1/4-inch thick. Every few strokes, lift and turn the dough a quarter-turn, dusting underneath with a small amount more of flour, if necessary, to prevent sticking. Place your rolling pin over the bottom quarter of the dough and lift the bottom edge of the dough up and over the pin. Roll the pin away from you slightly to help gather the dough circle onto the pin, then unroll the dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the plum wedges in a bowl and toss with the sugar and juice of half a lemon. Remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Working from the center, arrange the plum wedges thickly over the dough, leaving about a 1 1/2-inch border all around the edges. Fold the exposed edges of dough up and over the plums so that the galette looks something like a pizza with a border of crust all around the outside. Brush the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with more sugar. Place on the bottom rack of the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the fruit is soft, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly on a baking rack. If using, sprinkle with the toasted almonds.
  • When the galette is no longer hot to the touch, slide onto a cake plate or pedestal. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse the food processor on and off until the mixture resembles coarse sand with pea-sized lumps of butter still showing. Add the egg yolk and the ice water and pulse on and off until the mixture comes together but does not form a single mass. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and gather it up into a loose ball. Working with a small bit of dough at a time, smoosh the dough across the counter away from you with the heel of your hand and then scrape it up with a pastry cutter and gather it back together, forming a second ball. Repeat with the remaining dough until all the smooshed dough is in a single ball. Flatten into a disk, wrap well in plastic wrap, and let rest in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.

THE MOST DELICIOUS AND EASY PLUM GALETTE



The most Delicious and Easy Plum Galette image

A buttery and flaky crust and a simple but delicious filling, this easy plum galette is a real winner!

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

For the pate brisee:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch pieces
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup ice water
For the fillilling:
¼ cup (plus ⅓ cup) sugar
3 TBSPS ground almonds
3 TBSPS all-purpose flour
2 - 2¼ lbs. large plums, halved, pitted and cut into ½" wedges
3 TBSPS unsalted butter, cut into small bits
¼-½ cup apricot or raspberry preserves, seedless

Steps:

  • Make the pate brisee: Put the flour, butter and salt in a food processor and process for 5 seconds; the butter should still be visible and in small pieces. Add the ice water and process for 5 seconds longer, just until the dough comes together; you should still be able to see the butter bits.
  • Form the dough: Remove the dough from the processor and gather it into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough, into a 16" to 17" round, about ⅛" thick. Drape the dough over the rolling pin and transfer it to a large baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Chill the dough until firm, about 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400°.
  • Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup of the sugar with the ground almonds and flour. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough to within 2" of the edge. Arrange the plum wedges on top and dot with the butter. Sprinkle all but 2 teaspoons of the remaining ⅓ cup sugar over the fruit. Fold the edge of the dough up over the plums to create a 2" border. (If the dough feels cold and firm, wait for a few minutes until it softens to prevent it from cracking.) Sprinkle the border with the reserved 2 teaspoons of sugar.
  • Bake the gallete: Place the galette in the middle of the oven and bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the fruit is very soft and the crust is nicely browned. If any juices have leaked onto the baking sheet, slide a knife under the galette to release it from the sheet. Evenly brush the preserves over the hot fruit. This will give them a nice glaze. Let the galette cool to room temperature before serving.

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, diced
1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon cold water
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1/3 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it resembles coarse meal mixed with pea-size bits of butter, 10 to 15 times. Add the egg mixture and pulse until the dough just starts to come together, about 10 times. Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, using the plastic to help form it into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

  • Sprinkle the dough lightly with flour on both sides and roll out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch round that is about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment and place on an inverted baking sheet.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border on all sides. Lay the plum slices overlapping in concentric circles to cover the cream cheese filling. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed. Brush the crust with the egg white and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Slide the galette and parchment paper onto the preheated baking sheet and bake until crust is golden, about 40 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving, about 30 minutes.
