Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 to 4 tbsp ice water
  • 1/2 cup (50g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract (optional)
  • 3 to 4 medium fresh peaches (about 1 pound / 450g), sliced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp dried culinary lavender buds, finely crushed
  • 1 tbsp warm water

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a large bowl or food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and pulse or cut until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces. Gradually add ice water until dough just comes together. Wrap dough in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the almond cream: Beat softened butter with powdered sugar until fluffy. Add egg, almond flour, vanilla extract, and almond extract (optional). Mix until smooth. Cover and chill until ready.
  3. Prep the peaches: Slice peaches thinly. Toss with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Set aside to macerate for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Assemble the galette: Spread almond cream evenly over dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange peach slices on top in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping. Fold edges of dough over fruit, pleating as needed.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake galette for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and peaches are bubbling. Cover crust edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  7. Make the honey lavender glaze: Steep lavender buds in warm water for 5 minutes. Strain out lavender, then whisk in honey until smooth.
  8. Glaze & serve: When galette is slightly cooled, brush honey lavender glaze over peaches and crust edges. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for a flaky crust and chill dough before rolling. Toss peaches with lemon juice to prevent browning. Use foil to cover crust edges if browning too fast. Brush glaze while galette is warm, not hot. Prepping dough and almond cream ahead saves time. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. Honey lavender glaze is key for signature flavor but can be replaced with honey lemon glaze if preferred.
