Satisfy your fruit tart cravings with these Rustic Plum Mini Galettes, where the crumbly crust and sweet plums come together in a dance of simplicity and flavor.
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
- 175g all-purpose flour, for a flaky foundation
- 1.5 tablespoons sugar, just a hint of sweetness
- A pinch of salt, to elevate the taste
- 110g cold butter, cubed for perfect pastry
- 2 tablespoons creamy yogurt, for tenderness
- 1 tablespoon ice-cold water, to bring it all together
For the Filling:
- 4 ripe medium-sized plums, the star of the show
- 1-2 tablespoons ground almonds, for a nutty undertone
- 1 teaspoon sugar, for that caramelized joy
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch, to thicken the juices
For the Finish:
- Sliced almonds, for a crunchy edge
- Powdered sugar, for a sweet dusting
Instructions:
- Start your dough by whisking together flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Introduce the yogurt and ice water, and knead briefly to form a dough. Wrap and chill in the refrigerator for an hour.
- For the plum filling, slice the plums thinly and toss with ground almonds and cornstarch to create a juicy but stable mixture.
- Roll out the dough into five small circles and transfer to a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle a base layer of ground almonds and cornstarch onto each circle to soak up the plum juices.
- Arrange the plum slices beautifully over the dough, leaving a border. Fold the edges over the fruit, tuck in the almond slices, and sprinkle with sugar for a rustic look.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan) for about 30 minutes, or until the galettes are golden and the fruit is bubbling.
- Once baked, let them cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar for a dreamy finish.
Serve these Rustic Plum Mini Galettes warm or at room temperature, and let each bite transport you to a quaint European bakery. They’re perfect for a sweet end to a meal or a treat to pair with your coffee or tea. Delight in the making and the eating! 👩🏻🍳🍑🥧
