Tomato galette v1.0

Details
Notes
  • Make sure to keep the mixer at medium when creaming butter & sugar & incorporating egg - it keeps the bubbles small and consistent (high speed means larger bubbles and less stability)
  • Leave out one of the egg yolks for a lighter cake
  • Reserve some of the sugar to sieve in with the flour, it makes the flour absorb more easily
