Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour + a small amount for rolling out crust
½ teaspoon kosher or sea salt
2 teaspoons honey
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into ½-inch pieces, or vegan butter
1 egg yolk
¼ cup ice water
2 pounds ripe plums halved and pitted
⅓ cup honey
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon water
1 egg yolk

Instructions

Crust
In a food processor, pulse flour, salt, honey, butter, and egg yolk until mixture resembles coarse meal.
With the motor running, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until dough forms a ball and clings together (you may not need all the water).
Gather dough and flatten to a disk, wrap in parchment, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
Or frozen pie crust, thawed
Filling
Slice plum halves into thin wedges and toss with honey, cornstarch, and lemon zest and juice.
Roll out dough, on lightly floured surface, to a 12-inch circle.
Pile filling into center of dough. Gather edges of dough and draw them to center, allowing the dough to fall into pleats. You should have a 3- to 4-inch opening to show off plums.
Chill galette for 30 minutes.
Glaze
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Brush galette with honey glaze. Bake galette at 400°F for 40 to 50 minutes or until dough is medium brown and filling is bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
