Method
1.
Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, stirring until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2.
Step 2: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
3.
Step 3: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4.
Step 4: Spread the ricotta mixture over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange the plum slices on top of the ricotta. Drizzle with honey.
5.
Step 5: Fold the edges of the dough over the plums, pleating to hold the filling in. Brush the crust with beaten egg.
6.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
7.
Step 7: Let the galette cool slightly before garnishing with mint leaves and dusting with powdered sugar. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
