Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup iced water
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 sticks butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3 peaches, cut into 1/4-inch slices, or more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • ½ teaspoon cornstarch

Information

  • Prep Time: 20 mins
  • Cook Time: 15 mins
  • Additional Time: 1 hr
  • Total Time: 1 hr 35 mins
  • Servings: 8
  • Yield: 8 small galettes

  • To make the dough: Combine flour and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in water slowly and mix with a bowl scraper until absorbed. Add vanilla extract. Slowly mash butter into the mixture using your fingers until well combined. Flatten dough into a saucer and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • To make the filling: Place peaches in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Add sugar, vanilla paste, and cornstarch. Stir with a wooden spoon and let sit until peach juices are released, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Lightly flour a work surface. Roll dough out to a thickness of no more than 1/4 inch. Cut out 8 circles of dough using the rim of a cereal bowl. Place rounds 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Place 2 spoonfuls of the peach filling onto the center of each crust, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
  • Fold in the edges of the crusts 1/4 inch toward the center of each galette, forming a short lip to keep the filling in the middle.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crusts are golden brown and bottoms have been cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
