They seem to be early this year, but here they are and I feel obligated to use them in some way. I am not really a stone fruit fan. Only eating nectarines while growing up and that still being very hard for me. But as I get older my tastes and tolerances change.
With a simple recipe found on line I made a Pflaumen Kuchen, or plum cake. In the Cuisenart went flour, baking powder, a bit of sugar, salt pulsed until pea like then some heavy cream and an egg is added. Press the crust into the pan, decorate with plums and bake. Remove, and top with heavy cream whisked with sugar and an egg to make a simple custared.

Plum CakeNext came the galette. I had some pate sucree in the freezer. Rolled into 5 little rounds, topped with fruit and brushed with an egg wash and sugar and baked until golden brown and bubbling, then sprinkled with confectioners sugar, which disappears into the hot fruit.
