Description
A delightful dessert combining sweet, juicy peaches with a flaky, buttery buttermilk crust, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced (about 4–5 medium peaches)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- ½ cup sugar, divided (plus extra for sprinkling)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, to enhance peach flavor)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and salt. Add the chilled, cubed butter and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sliced peaches, ¼ cup of sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat and set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Spoon the peach filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges over the peaches, crimping to create a rustic edge.
- Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the crust and filling.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For optimal freshness, wrap the galette in plastic wrap before storing.
- To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
- Can be frozen for up to three months; thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
