Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3/4 to 1 pound (350-450g) Italian Prune Plums
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- Zest of one lemon
- 10 ounces puff pastry (about 285 grams), defrosted overnight in the fridge
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry dough into a rectangle roughly 14 by 12 inches (35 x 30cm, or about the size of a cookie sheet).
- Gently lift the rolled dough onto a cookie sheet and refrigerate while preparing the fruit.
- Halve and pit the Italian prune plums. Toss them with sugar and lemon zest until evenly coated.
- Arrange the plums on the pastry, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Fold the edges of the pastry over the fruit, pleating as necessary to create a rustic look.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly and jam-like.
- Allow the galette to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Firm fruit retains its shape best and emerges beautifully from the oven. This is more of a method than a strict recipe: if you don’t have Italian Prune Plums, use any other plums you have available. Homemade puff pastry is more economical and ensures pure butter is used.
