Ingredients
FOR THE CRUST
- ½ cup pecans
- 1 cup all-purpose flour plus more for dusting and rolling
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp butter cold, unsalted butter cut into cubes
- 3-4 tbsp ice-cold water
- 1 egg for brushing the crust before transferring it to the oven
FOR THE PLUM FILLING
- 8 small plums about 1 lb, seed removed and cut into thin slices
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 tbsp cane sugar
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
MAKE THE CRUST
- Add all of the ingredients: pecans, flour, kosher salt, sugar, cold butter, and pulse until the pecans are crushed into smaller pieces.
- Add the ice-cold water to the processor 1 tbsp at a time while processing on low. Process until a large ball of dough forms.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes. While the dough is chilling, let's make the plum filling.
Cup of Yum
MAKE THE PLUM FILLING
- In a large skillet over medium-low heat, add the sliced plums, cinnamon stick, sugar, vanilla, corn starch, and kosher salt. Mix and stir until all of the ingredients have meshed together and the plums have a shiny coating of plum sauce, about 10-15 minutes.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
- Beat one egg and set aside.
- Dust flour on a hard surface, and a rolling pin. Roll out the dough into a large circle (about 18 inches in diameter). It's ok if the edges are rustic and your circle isn't perfect. The handmade look is completely ideal for this dessert.
- After the circle is created, transfer it to a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper optional as long as you have a good nonstick pan).
- Transfer the plum filling right into the center avoiding the edges. Fold and shape the sides with your hands creating that beautiful galette look.
- Brush the edges with egg. Sprinkle on cane sugar. Transfer the galette to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cooldown to room temperature before slicing.
- Enjoy with company!
Notes
- How to make ice-cold water? I like to add a few ice cubes into a cup of room-temp water. Another way is to put a cup of water into the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Don't have plums? Use peaches, apples, pears, or even strawberries instead.
- Don't have pecans? Use sliced almonds, walnuts, or cashews instead.
- Don't have any eggs? Brush the crust with melted butter.
