How to make Plum Galette with Thyme

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F, 177°C, or gas mark 4.
In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, sugars, ginger, thyme, lemon zest, and cornstarch. Rub the mixture between your fingers until you can smell the thyme and lemon.
Add the plums and toss until they are evenly coated.

Assembly

Roll out the short crust pastry and place it on a sheet pan or round baking sheet.
Arrange the plums on the pastry. If using a rectangle or square, arrange in rows. If making a circle, arrange in a circle.
Fold the remaining crust over the ends of the fruit.

Baking

Combine the cream and egg and stir until mixed.
Using a pastry brush, brush the mixture over the crust and then dust with the turbinado sugar.
Bake for 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow to cool before serving.
