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
  • 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.
