Ingredients




For Sweet Buttery Crust
1½ cups flour (I used Lubella, but all-purpose is fine)
¾ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
2 tablespoons shortening
2 teaspoons cream (heavy or light cream will do. If you have none on hand, full fat milk is fine)
For Peach Filling
5 peaches, pitted, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons sugar

Preparation

1 In a bowl, gently toss together sliced peaches, vanilla, starch and sugar. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready. 2 In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Whisk in one egg until the mixture is crumbly. 3 Add cold butter and shortening. Mix with hands until a soft dough begins to form. 4 Add cream one teaspoon at a time - the amount of cream may vary. 5 Form into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for about 2 hours. 6 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 7 On a flat surface, flour a sheet of parchment paper. Roll out chilled dough into a circle about ¼-inch thick. 8 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. 9 Bake for about 25-30 minutes until the center is bubbling and the edges are golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. 10 If desired serve with whipped cream.
