Pineapple & Persimmon Galette

The weather was quite freaky these few days! Bright and sunny in one minute, then comes the rain for a few minutes.... bright again..... follow by thunder.... bommm...zz....zz.... the sky became dark for the whole evening, NO RAIN! I think our mother nature is having a flu? Remember the tornado strikes Yazo City (US) a couple of days ago? Scary, isn't it? I wonder are there any of our blogger friends were involved! Hopefully none! May God bless you all!

I'm going to have something light today. A little tropical touch!

Ingredients for Pastry Crust :

2-1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 tspn sugar

1 tspn salt

226gm butter, cut into small pieces

1/2 cup ice water

Method :

- combine flour, sugar & salt, then rub in butter untll well combined.

- slowly stir in ice water untill the dough just holds together.

- wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for an hour.

Fillings :

2 large persimmons, sliced

1 canned pineapple (I used fresh fruit)

1/2 cup sugar

1 tspn lemon juice

1-1/2 tbsp flour

1/2 tpsn salt

Method :

- combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.

TO ASSEMBLE :

- place chilled dough between 2 plastic sheets and then roll flat, roughly about 10x14" to fit into a 9x10" tray or any other size tray as desire.

- arrange all the sliced fruits onto dough and then fold the edges.

- bake at 200'c for about 30-40 mins or untill brown.

- you may also brush the outer crust with egg glaze (optional).

What else after that! Serve the pastry while it's still warm. Remember, the sugar & salt in the filling is adjustable. Enjoy!
