Ingredients
For the crust:
1/2cupunsalted butter, cold(1 stick)
1 1/4cupall-purpose flour
1/2Tablespoonsugar
1/2teaspoonsalt
1/4cupbuttermilk(or use regular milk mixed with 1/2 tsp vinegar)
For the filling:
3mediumpeaches, sliced (or 2 large peaches)
Zest and juice of 1/2 a regular lemon (or 1 small lemon)
1/2cupgranulated sugar
4Tablespoonscornstarch
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoonalmond extract
For topping the galette:
1egg,beaten with 1 teaspoon cream or water
Sliced almonds
Coarse or turbinado sugar
Instructions
For the crust:
Combine all ingredients except buttermilk in food processor. Pulse until butter is well combined with the flour mixture. Add buttermilk and pulse until a dough forms. Turn dough out onto a clean surface and shape into an even, flat disk. Wrap in plastic wrap, then roll the sides to form an even edge, refrigerate for 1/2 hr while preparing the peach filling.
For the filling:
Combine peaches in a large bowl with lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and almond extract. Stir to fully combine.
For the galette:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. On a clean countertop or surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness in an even-ish circle. Place the circle of dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Dump the peach mixture in the center and spread it out to within about an inch of the edges.
Fold the edges of the dough over the peach filling, creating a freeform pie shape. This can be very rustic, and certainly does not need to be perfect! Just try to keep it even and not create any holes for filling to come out.
Brush the folded-over edges of dough with the egg mixture, then sprinkle with sugar and sliced almonds.
Bake for about 45 minutes, until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling. You may have some filling leak out, and that's ok.
Serve warm with ice cream!
Notes
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, though galette is best the day it's made.
