My front courtyard has a little pear tree line and we agreed with my neighbourgh to share them. But in the end he didn't take much so I had plenty and many more to eat. I had done Vegan pear and apples galette inspired by Green Kitchen Stories last year. So this year, I wanted to try something new and the recipe, and stumbled upon the one from Call me cupcake. It has hazelnut frangipane so if you have allergies, I suggest you change it to almonds and or any nuts you are not allergic to.
I twisted it only slightly and it was the most delicious thing:
You can go and check Linda Lomelino's website, her photos are gorgeous and the recipe is perfect as it is. Except I try to not to use too much dairies and gluten so here is my take on this galette (you can otherwise go to her site for the instructions). I used butter and eggs but changed the flours :
INGREDIENTS
PIE CRUST
210 g (1 1/2 cups) gluten free flour, I used 2/3 white buckwheat and 1/3 almond flours
1 1/2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. flaky salt
150 g (about 1 + 1/3 stick) very cold salted butter
3-6 tbsp. ice water
HAZELNUT FRANGIPANE
75 g (2/3 cup) hazelnuts
75 g (2/3 stick) softened salted butter
3 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 medium egg
1 tbsp. white buckwheat flour
FILLING & TOPPING
500 g fruit (approx. 2 apples & 2 pears)
zest from 1 orange or 1 lemon
2 tbsp. fresh orange orlemon juice
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tbsp. (15 g) salted butter, melted
1 tbsp. almond flour
1 egg
pinch of salt
2 tsp. turbinado sugar
If you have any suggestion on how to replace the butter, I'm in. I don't dare trying with an oil as I think it would totally change the taste! Someone was pretty pleased with the result for sure!
And now of course, some outtakes!
See you soon for the November portraits :)
