Instructies
- To make the galette: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4).
- Lightly coat a 9-inch (23-cm) round pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
- Add the oil and nondairy milk to the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork or using your fingers until the dough forms a crumbly texture.
- If the dough is too dry, add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of milk at a time until it’s more manageable.
- Drop the dough crumbs evenly into the pie plate and press firmly onto the bottom to form a crust.
- Arrange the pear slices overlapping in a circular pattern, leaving a ½ inch (1.
- 3 cm) edge.
- Sprinkle with raw sugar.
- Bake the galette for 20 minutes.
- To make the pudding: In a small saucepan, whisk together the nondairy milk, cornstarch, sugar, and salt.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and butter, then set aside.
- After 20 minutes of baking, pour the pudding over the pears, being careful not to get too close to the edges.
- Return the galette to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the pears are fork-tender.
- Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
- Let cool before serving.
