Plum Galette
If you are in need of a quick and colourful dessert, you should definitely give this plum galette a go. It has been shared with us by Sophia Handschuh from Thermomix Baking Blogger. It is packed with delicious fruit and surrounded by a crispy shortcrust pastry. Have it warm with a dollop of ice cream (or double cream!) You can experiment with the fruit, if you fancy. Why not use apples and pears, or strawberries and raspberries. There is no limit and the more flavour you get, the better.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "This pastry is divine, and I will be using it for lots of other stone fruit / berry bakes. It is a great way of using up frozen fruit. It really is a lovely recipe." - Monika
