Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 8 tablespoons (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3–4 tablespoons (45-60ml) ice water
  • 4 large fresh ripe peaches (about 2 pounds/900g), sliced thinly
  • 3 tablespoons (60ml) honey (local wildflower honey preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender buds
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) whole milk or cream
  • Seeds from 1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and mix with a pastry cutter or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  2. Slowly add 3 tablespoons ice water, mixing gently until dough just holds together. Add extra tablespoon if needed but do not overwork.
  3. Shape dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Warm honey and lavender buds in a small saucepan over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let steep.
  5. In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon (if using), and lavender-infused honey. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
  6. Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Spoon peach mixture onto center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over peaches, pleating to contain filling. Brush crust edges with honey or milk.
  8. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden and peach juices bubble. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast.
  9. While galette cools slightly, whisk powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla bean seeds or paste until smooth to make glaze.
  10. Drizzle glaze over warm galette and let set before serving.

Notes

Keep all ingredients cold for a flaky crust. Do not overmix dough to avoid toughness. Infuse honey with lavender gently over low heat without boiling. Chill dough well before rolling to prevent shrinkage. Use parchment paper for crispier crust bottom. Brush crust edges with egg wash for softer crust if desired. Glaze should be drizzled on slightly cooled galette to prevent running.
