Ingredients
- •1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- •1/4 cup granulated sugar
- •1/2 teaspoon salt
- •1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- •3-4 tablespoons ice water
- •6 ripe plums, pitted and sliced
- •2 tablespoons brown sugar
- •1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- •1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- •1/4 cup pistachios, roughly chopped
- •1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- •1 tablespoon milk
- •2 tablespoons orange blossom honey
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the chilled, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- 3
Gradually add 3-4 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 4
While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced plums, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Toss gently to coat the plums evenly in the spices and sugar.
- 5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- 6
Arrange the spiced plums in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the roughly chopped pistachios over the plums.
- 7
Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pleating as needed to create a rustic edge. Mix the beaten egg with milk to create an egg wash, and brush it over the exposed crust.
- 8
Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- 9
Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the orange blossom honey over the warm galette just before serving.
- 10
Serve the galette warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a different fruit instead of plums?
A: Yes, you can substitute plums with other stone fruits like peaches, nectarines, or apricots. Berries such as blackberries or raspberries also work well, but they may release more juice, so consider sprinkling a teaspoon of cornstarch over the fruit mixture to help thicken the filling.
Q: What can I use instead of orange blossom honey?
A: If orange blossom honey isn't available, you can use regular honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup. For a similar floral note, you could add a few drops of orange or rose water to plain honey.
Q: Can I make the galette dough ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can prepare the dough up to 2 days in advance. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. Let the dough sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before rolling it out to make it easier to handle.
Q: How do I prevent the crust from becoming soggy?
A: To avoid a soggy crust, ensure the plums are patted dry after washing and don't overfill the galette. You can also sprinkle a thin layer of ground almonds, breadcrumbs, or a little flour over the dough before adding the plums to help absorb excess moisture.
Q: What should I do if the edges of my galette are browning too quickly?
A: If the crust edges are browning too fast before the filling is done, cover the edges with strips of aluminum foil or a pie crust shield during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
Q: Can I make this galette gluten-free?
A: Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that includes xanthan gum or guar gum. Be sure to chill the dough thoroughly, as gluten-free dough can be more delicate to handle.
Q: How should I store leftovers and reheat them?
A: Store leftover galette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 8-10 minutes to restore the crispness of the crust. Avoid reheating in the microwave, as it can make the crust soggy.
