# Directions:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt.
02 - Add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
03 - Whisk egg yolk with 3 tablespoons ice water, drizzle over flour mixture, and stir until dough just holds together, adding extra water if necessary. Shape into a disk, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
04 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
05 - Toss sliced plums with clover honey, turbinado sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
06 - On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer to prepared baking sheet.
07 - Arrange plum mixture in the center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over filling, pleating as needed.
08 - Brush folded crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
09 - Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
10 - Drizzle warm galette with extra clover honey and scatter with fresh clover blossoms if desired. Let cool slightly before slicing.
