Ingredients
- •2 cups all-purpose flour
- •1/2 teaspoon salt
- •1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- •1/4 cup cold water
- •6 medium plums, pitted and sliced
- •1/4 cup granulated sugar
- •1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- •1 tablespoon cornstarch
- •1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- •2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (optional, for garnish)
- •1/4 cup powdered sugar
- •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- •2 tablespoons almond milk
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the chilled, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 3
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 4
While the dough chills, prepare the filling by combining the sliced plums, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch in a bowl. Toss gently to coat the plums evenly and set aside.
- 5
Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- 6
Arrange the plum mixture in the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed to create a rustic crust.
- 7
Brush the edges of the crust with the beaten egg and, if desired, sprinkle with turbinado sugar for added texture and sweetness.
- 8
Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the plums are tender and bubbling.
- 9
While the galette cools slightly, prepare the vanilla almond drizzle by whisking together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond milk in a small bowl until smooth.
- 10
Drizzle the vanilla almond glaze over the warm galette before serving. Slice and enjoy, optionally paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a different type of fruit instead of plums?
A: Yes, you can substitute plums with other stone fruits like peaches, nectarines, or apricots. Berries like blueberries or raspberries also work well, but you may need to adjust the sugar and cornstarch slightly depending on the fruit's sweetness and juiciness.
Q: What can I use instead of almond milk in the vanilla almond drizzle?
A: You can replace almond milk with any other type of milk, such as regular dairy milk, oat milk, or soy milk. Coconut milk can also be used, but it may slightly alter the flavor of the drizzle.
Q: How do I prevent the galette crust from becoming soggy?
A: To prevent a soggy crust, make sure the plum mixture is not overly juicy. Toss the plums with cornstarch and sugar as directed to help thicken the juices during baking. Additionally, you can sprinkle a thin layer of ground almonds or breadcrumbs on the dough before adding the plum filling to absorb excess moisture.
Q: Can I make the dough ahead of time?
A: Yes, the dough can be made up to 2 days in advance. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. Allow it to soften slightly at room temperature before rolling it out.
Q: What’s the best way to store leftovers?
A: Store leftover galette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes to restore the crispness of the crust.
Q: What if my galette crust tears while folding it over the plums?
A: Don’t worry if the crust tears slightly. Simply pinch the dough back together or patch it with a small piece of dough from another section. The rustic look is part of the charm of a galette, so imperfections won’t affect the final result.
Q: Can I make this recipe vegan?
A: Yes, to make this recipe vegan, replace the butter in the crust with a plant-based butter or solid coconut oil, use a plant-based milk for the drizzle, and skip the egg wash. Instead of egg wash, you can brush the crust with almond milk or a mixture of almond milk and maple syrup for a golden finish.
