FAQs ❓
Do you peel plums before baking?
It depends on how you’re using them. When making jelly or jam, yes you should peel plums. When making this recipe, or other recipes where you roast or bake plums, leave the skin on. They add nice color and shape, plus a bit of tartness that contrasts nicely with the sweetness of the plum flesh.
What is the difference between a tart and a plum galette with puff pastry?
I took a few liberties in naming this plum dessert a “tart.” Mine is actually not really a tart or a galette. Technically, tarts are baked in a very specific style pan (a tart pan) while a galette is a French pastry that’s basically a freeform pie. For a galette, pie crust is rolled flat, filled with lots of fresh fruit (sliced or chopped) then the edges of the crust are folded over the edge of the fruit, overlapping around 1 inch. My tarts are freeform, but with a thinner, puff pastry crust instead of a pie crust. In addition, mine don’t have as much fruit as a typical galette, and the edge of the crust isn’t folded on top of the fruit.
How do you keep the bottom of mini plum tarts from getting soggy?
I’ve never had an issue with these tarts getting soggy. Don’t make them more than 8 hours ahead and make sure to cook them until the crust is crispy.
