Plum And Almond Galette Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine 2 1/2 cups flour, butter, 1 teaspoon sugar, and salt; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 1/4 cup remaining ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time). Don't overmix. Remove dough from processor and shape into a disk; wrap in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour. Meanwhile, wipe bowl of food processor clean and add almonds, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons flour; pulse until ground to a coarse meal.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet; sprinkle almond mixture over dough. With a spatula, transfer plums to dough; press lightly to fan out, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edge of dough over fruit. Refrigerate 20 minutes. Brush crust with cream; sprinkle galette with 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake until crust is golden and underside is cooked through, about 70 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a pizza stone or baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Toss together the confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, almond extract, peaches and plums in a bowl.
• Unroll the pie crust on the prepared pizza stone or baking sheet and spread the jam in the center. Top with the fruit mixture, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Fold the edge of the dough over the filling. Beat the egg in a small bowl with 1 teaspoon water. Brush the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown and shiny, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Remove the pastry from the freezer and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Leave it to thaw while you prepare the fruit. It will thaw quickly and is easiest to handle if it's cold. You want it just soft enough so that you can manipulate it.
• Combine the plums, 2 tablespoons of the sugar or honey, walnuts, orange zest, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a large bowl and gently toss together.
• Sprinkle the almond powder over the pastry, leaving a 2- to 3-inch border all around. Place the fruit on top. Fold the edges of the dough in over the fruit, pleating the edges as you work your way around the fruit to form a free-form tart that is roughly 9 inches in diameter. Place in the freezer on the baking sheet for 45 minutes to an hour. This helps the galette maintain its shape. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove the galette from the freezer. Brush the exposed pastry with the egg wash. Combine the sugar and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over the fruit and the crust. Place in the oven and bake 1 hour, until the fruit is bubbly and some of the juices have run out and caramelized on the parchment. Remove from the oven and serve hot or warm.

Steps:

• heat oven to 425 degrees F. You'll ned a 15 X 11 inch rimmed baking pan lined with parchment or nonstick foil.
• combine fruit, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and almond extract until evenly coated.
• unroll pie crust onto lined baking pan.
• place fruit mixture in center, leaving a 1 1/2 inch border around edges. fold edges of crust over filling, pleating and pressing dough together to hold shape.
• brush crust edges with egg white;sprinkle with sugar. bake 15 minutes. reduce oven temp to 375 degrees F. bake 20 minutes, or until crust is browned and fruit is juicy and tender. cool 10 minutes. slide onto rack to cool.
