Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup ice-cold water
  • 4–5 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or seeds from 1 vanilla bean pod
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Turbinado sugar or coarse sugar, for sprinkling
  • Vanilla bean ice cream, to serve

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: In a small heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir gently as it foams and turns golden brown with toasted milk solids forming at the bottom, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Pour in the warm (not hot) brown butter and stir until crumbly. Gradually add ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Filling: Peel and slice peaches. Toss with brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla seeds or extract. Let macerate for about 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: Spoon peach filling into the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over filling, pleating to create a rustic edge.
  6. Apply Egg Wash and Sugar: Brush dough edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  7. Bake: Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden and peaches are bubbling. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly.
  8. Cool Slightly and Serve: Let cool 15 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Watch the butter closely when browning to avoid burning; the nutty aroma signals it’s ready. Chill dough well before rolling to prevent sticking and shrinking. Use cornstarch in filling to avoid soggy crust. Tent galette with foil if edges brown too fast. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour with tapioca starch. For vegan, use plant-based butter and egg replacer.
