Plums and
lavender are in abundance in the summer and together they make a heavenly galette!
This is a lovely Summer dessert recipe to share with good friends. It's delicious by
itself and pairs very well with an espresso or a glass of pinot noir.
Culinary
Lavender Tip: always use high grade organic culinary

1 1/2
cup spelt pastry flour
1/2 tsp. organic culinary lavender
1/2 tsp. organic culinary lavender
2
Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. fresh Meyer lemon rind
5 Tbsp. cold sweet butter cut into 1/2-inch pieces (dairy or non-dairy)

5 Tbsp. cold sweet butter cut into 1/2-inch pieces (dairy or non-dairy)
1/4 cup cold water
Galette Dough Directions:
Place spelt pastry flour, lemon rind, lavender and sugar in a food processor and pulse 3 times. Add in the cold sweet butter and pulse a few more times until it forms a coarse texture. Gradually, add in the cold water and pulse lightly until moistened. Place dough on a flat board and knead 2 or 3 times. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
1 tsp. organic culinary lavender
7 large firm plums, sliced into 1/4-inch wedges
1 Tbsp. Meyer lemon rind
Galette Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Take out the dough from fridge and transfer it onto a baking sheet. Arrange plums on the dough in a circular pattern and fold the dough over the plums to create a 1.5-inch border of dough over the plums and pleat the dough edge together.
Sprinkle the galette with sugar, lavender flowers, lemon rind and a few pieces of butter. Bake until the crust is nicely golden for about 35-40 minutes.
Let the galette cool, garnish with lavender and enjoy!
