Fig-and-Frangipane Galettes
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 2 sticks cold unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup ice water
- 5 ounces almond paste
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- Pinch of fine salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup apricot preserves
- 11 fresh Black Mission figs, stemmed and quartered
- 1/4 cup turbinado sugar
- Make the dough In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the sugar and salt.
- Using the large holes on a box grater, grate the butter over the flour.
- Gently toss the butter with the flour to mix.
- Sprinkle on the water and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough just starts to come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gather any crumbs.
- Gently flatten the dough with your hands and fold in half; repeat the flattening and folding 2 more times.
- Pat the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and form into balls.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each ball to a 6-inch round.
- Transfer the rounds to the baking sheets and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the frangipane In a food processor, combine the almond paste with the butter, flour, lemon zest, salt and 1 egg.
- Pulse until smooth.
- Spread the apricot preserves on the pastry rounds, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Spread the frangipane over the preserves and arrange the figs decoratively on top.
- Fold the pastry up and over the fruit.
- Beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush some of the egg wash on the pastry rims; sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
- Bake the galettes for 40 to 45 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the crusts are browned and the frangipane is puffed.
- Let cool before serving.
