We’ve got plums and pluots coming out the wazoo at the moment.

I’ve updated the recipe to include instructions for making my favoritehomemade pastry crust.

Plum Galette recipe

Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

The crust is made with flour, sour cream, butter, and salt and sugar.

It’s incredibly easy to put together and roll out, and makes a tender, flaky crust.

If using salted butter, omit the salt in the crust.

Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add the sour cream to the mixture and mix in with a fork.

Gather the dough into a ball with your hands and flatten into a disk shape.

Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator to let stand for 5 minutes before rolling out.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, or lightly butter a baking sheet.

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pie dough to a 13-inch round of even thickness.

Place rolled-out pie dough in the center of the lined or buttered baking sheet.

Fold the edges of the pie crust up and over so that circle of the filling is visible.

Brush on the exposed pastry crust with a pastry brush.
