• 6-8 plums, pitted and sliced
• 100 gram(s) (3½oz) cut mixed citrus peel
• Finely grated zest 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoon(s) plain flour
• 125 gram(s) (4½oz) caster sugar
• 100 gram(s) (3½oz) ground almonds
• 450 gram(s) sweet shortcrust pastry
• Icing sugar, for dusting
• Whipped cream, to serve

Method

1. In a medium-sized bowl, gently toss the plum slices with the citrus peel, lemon zest, flour, caster sugar and ground almonds.
2. Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 160°C fan/Gas 4. Lightly flour a clean work surface and divide the pastry into 4. Roll out each one to form a piece about 16-18cm (6½-7in) square and 1cm (½in) thickness. Put the pastry squares onto 2 large, non-stick baking sheets lined with baking parchment. Place the plum mixture in the centre of each square, leaving a border of 5cm (2in) on all sides. Fold the edges of the pastry up and over so the filling is still visible.
3. Place the galettes in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is lightly browned and the filling is bubbling. Cool on a rack for an hour. Dust with icing sugar and serve with whipped cream.
