• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

For the Filling:

• 6–8 ripe figs, sliced

How To Make Pioneer Woman Fig Galette Recipe

1. Make the dough: Mix flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Add ice water a little at a time until dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Prepare the filling: Toss fig slices with honey, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Let sit for 5–10 minutes.
4. Roll the dough: Roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Move to prepared baking sheet.
5. Assemble the galette: Sprinkle almond flour in center, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange figs in overlapping layers. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating as needed.
6. Finish and bake: Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and bubbling.
7. Drizzle and serve: Drizzle with honey and let cool slightly before slicing.

Recipe Tips

• Can I make galette dough ahead of time? Yes, refrigerate it for up to 2 days or freeze for up to a month.
• What if I don’t have almond flour? Use ground almonds, breadcrumbs, or omit for a softer base.
• How to get a crisp crust? Use almond flour under the fruit and don’t overload the filling.
• Can I use dried figs? Use rehydrated dried figs, though fresh gives the best texture and look.
• Is galette best warm or chilled? It’s great warm or at room temp—try with whipped cream or ice cream.
