Enjoy both of these delicious fruits in this mouth-watering summertime galette; the perfect addition to any gathering!
Ingredients:
(serves 6-8)
Crust:
1 ½ tsp sugar
¾ tsp salt
1 ½ sticks unsalted butter
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
4tbs ice water
Filling:
1 tsp salt
⅓ cup sugar
2 tsp cornstarch
2-3 peaches, cut into ¾”-thick wedges
2-3 plums, cut into ¾”-thick wedges
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp heavy cream
A scoop of vanilla ice cream (for serving, optional)
Directions:
Prepare the crust: whisk flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Add butter in tbsp pieces, toss onto work surface and roll into a workable dough. Once flour and butter are combined, gather mixture into a pile and drizzle 4 tbsp ice water over. Combine mixture with a fork until water is incorporated, then gather into a rectangular pile.
Roll out dough into a long rectangle about 8″ wide, then fold dough into thirds. Repeat rolling and folding 3 times, flouring surface as needed. Wrap folded dough in plastic, and press into a disk about 1″ thick. Chill 1 hour. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12″ circle about ⅛” thick. Move to a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare the filling: By hand, combine cornstarch, salt, and sugar in a medium-sized bowl with peaches and plum wedges. Mix in vanilla and lemon juice. Place fruit mixture in the centre of chilled dough (still on parchment on baking sheet), leaving a 2″ border. Fold edges of dough up over fruit. Brush heavy cream over dough and sprinkle sugar evenly. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. Let cool before serving. Serve galette with ice cream, if desired.
