Making the PERFECT Honeyed Plum Galette | Sweet Delicacies | Southern Living From Home

A galette is nothing more than a casually made pie with far less fussing than the variation assembled in a pie plate. The filling of this galette celebrates the natural syrupy sweetness of ripe plums by only sweetening the fruit with honey. The honey adds a depth of sweet richness while highlighting the characteristic juicy flavor of plums. Recipes like this one are elegant and take advantage of the phenomenal taste of ripe plums, allowing you to do relatively little work to make something truly exceptional.
INGREDIENTS:
Dough
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• ¾ teaspoons kosher salt
• 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes

• 4 to 5 tablespoons ice water
Filling

• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

[@affliction6911]

I would definitely want to make this for my wife. I have a question, when you cool it off.. do you have cool it on the baking sheet or can it be cooled on the meshed cooking sheet so the bottom of the galette cool more. Thank you for the recipe ☺

[@micahleal5379]

I'd definitely let it cool on the baking sheet first! That'll help prevent it from breaking apart as you move it.

[@affliction6911]

@@micahleal5379 ok, thank you for the suggestion
