Peach-plum galette recipe for a delightful summer dessert

Ingredients for Peach-plum galette

• 10 g cornflour

• 5 ml finely grated lime zest

• 5 ml reduced-salt salt

• 70 g caster sugar, plus more for sprinkling

• 450 g peaches, cut into 2 cm thick wedges

• 450 g plums, cut into 2 cm thick wedges

• 15 ml fresh lime juice

• 5 ml vanilla extract

• 5 ml finely grated peeled ginger (optional)

• Extra-flaky pastry dough

• 15 ml double cream

• Soured cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving; optional)

How to make Peach-plum galette

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan) / 220°C (conventional).

2. In a medium bowl, combine the cornflour, lime zest, salt, and 75 g of sugar.

3. Use your hands to mix the ingredients until well combined.

4. Add the fruit to the bowl and toss gently to coat it in the sugar mixture.

5. Drizzle in the lime juice, vanilla extract, and ginger (if using), then toss gently again.

6. Lay the chilled dough, still on the parchment paper, on a baking tray.

7. Spoon the fruit mixture into the centre of the dough, spreading it out evenly while leaving a 7.5 cm border around the edges.

8. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the fruit, pleating as necessary. If the dough tears, patch it with scraps and pinch to seal.

9. Pour the cream into a small bowl and use a brush to apply it evenly over the dough.

10. Sprinkle the remaining sugar evenly over the surface of the dough.

11. Place the galette in the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 190°C (fan) / 210°C (conventional).

12. Bake for 45–50 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through, until the crust is a deep golden brown, the fruit is softened, and the juices are bubbling.

13. Allow the galette to cool for 2 hours before serving.

14. Serve the galette warm with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
