Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick, 113g) unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water
  • 4–5 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 3 cups)
  • 1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Turbinado sugar or coarse sugar (for sprinkling on crust)
  • Vanilla bean ice cream (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Place 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a light-colored skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly until butter foams and turns golden brown with nutty aromas. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Pour in the browned butter and stir until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring gently after each addition until dough comes together but is not sticky. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a medium bowl, toss sliced peaches with 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  5. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Assemble the Galette: Spoon peach filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges up around the fruit, pleating as you go. Brush edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake galette for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and peaches are bubbly. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let galette cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Brown butter must be watched carefully to avoid burning; use a light-colored pan and stir constantly. Chill dough for flakier crust; freezing for 10-15 minutes is a quick alternative. Avoid overloading peaches to prevent soggy crust. Preheat baking surface for crisp bottom crust. Egg wash adds golden sheen and crunch. Dough can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated.
