peach galette

Galettes are sneaky. They may look complicated but are actually very easy to achieve. Galettes can be savory or sweet, but with peaches in season I couldn’t help myself. I made this for company earlier in the week and it exceeded everyone’s expectations. All that is needed with this dessert is a cup of coffee…and perhaps a dollop of whipped cream if so desired.

How To Make peach galette
-
1In a bowl, gently toss together sliced peaches, vanilla, starch and sugar. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Whisk in one egg until the mixture is crumbly. Add cold butter and shortening. Mix with hands until a soft dough begins to form. Add cream one teaspoon at a time - the amount of cream may vary. Form into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for about 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a flat surface, flour a sheet of parchment paper. Roll out chilled dough into a circle about ¼-inch thick. Spoon peaches into the center and gently use the parchment paper to fold over the edges of the dough (this is a very delicate dough). Lift the parchment paper to transfer the galette onto a cookie sheet. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until the center is bubbling and the edges are golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. If desired serve with whipped cream.
