PEACH AND ALMOND GALETTE
My first introduction to "Galette" was in French Pastry Cafe, a few years ago. This french cafe made these gorgeous looking, free-form, flaky, and rustic fruit tarts with a thin layer of fruit on the top. I always loved'em for flaky and buttery crust - totally indulgent in taste, yet had fresh and sweet bite of stone fruits (like cherries, peaches, plums, you name it!). They had a huge variety of galettes and whenever I visited, all I wanted was a slice of Galette.It is interesting that I loved eating galette in French Cafe so much that never cared to make one at home. I guess, the convenience of French Bakery around the corner spoiled my inner-chef who always wanna try everything (well, that be a exaggeration, let's say many things) I eat out, at home :). Two years back, we moved to a different area and that sweet indulgent ride ended for a while....... until recently I craved for those galettes soooo much that decided to make'em at home (finally!!!)Galette is pretty easy to make, specially the shape is rustic, free-form. So you don't need tart/pie shell to make neat tart edges. The most important thing for a great, buttery and flaky galette is the crust - a BIG in butter crust. If you can find frozen Puff Pastry crust/Pie Crust, the job is half done right away. I have used Puff Pastry Crust for this recipe. However it is very easy to make flaky tart crust at home. Just like Pie Crust, mix big chunks of cold-diced butter into the all-purpose flour and mix using pastry-dough-cutter or in food processor. Also make sure, water used to make dough is chilled or otherwise butter will melt in dough and crust will not be flaky.For this recipe, I made petite, individual portion galettes, perfect to serve for party. Every one has their own portion with scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream and no messy crumbs around. This is great when you know head-count for the party Or otherwise you can make one big size free-form galette using same technique and then slice'em per request for guests.I am telling you, one slice of this peach galette is passport to heaven - as mouthwatering as it looks. Flaky crust, mild-sweet almond filling and fresh baked peaches on the top. Oh-ho-ho-ho, who needs dinner, i can just dine on a slice of my Peach Galette and call it a day. Well, that is a trade-off you know! I mean, to enjoy buttery goodness, (my guilty pleasure), I can happily give-up dinner any given day :) You know what?? ask Vishal ;) he will happily give-up dinner too... but.... will demand 3-4 petite peach galettes in return. smart!! han!!Even while taking these shots, someone kept telling me "Ice cream is melting!! " "How many clicks do you want?" Any guesses? Who's lines are these?You keep guessing and I stop talking now... I can see you too want to jump to the recipe :) Let's just get to the recipe. And Let me know who is making'em tomorrow! Or may be today!?!?

- Top peach slices on almond layer, fanning out to cover the marked center.
- Lifting from one edge, fold the edges of pastry around the peach slices to make a free-form closed shape.
- Dot the top of galette with diced cold butter and sprinkle 1 tsp sugar on each of four galettes. Place on baking sheet and keep these 4 in refrigerator and take remaining pastry sheet out to make the remaining four galettes.
- Repeat step 2-6 to make all galettes. Let set in refrigerator for 20-25 minutes. Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to 450 F.
- Bake all galettes in preheated oven for 15-17 minutes or until crust is flaky and brown on edges and filling is fragrant. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool slightly or bottoms will get soggy with steam. Serve warm with scoop of vanilla ice-cream and enjoy!!

Steps:
- To make the pastry, rub together the flour and butter until it looks like fine breadcrumbs, then mix in the sugar. Add 1 egg yolk and 1 tsp water, followed by the next yolk and 1 tsp water until the dough just comes together. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 mins.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface until big enough to line a 23cm tart tin. If the dough rips, simply patch it up. Cut away the excess pastry. Line with greaseproof paper, fill with baking beans, then bake for 10 mins. Remove paper and beans. Prick quite a few holes in the base of your tart, then bake for another 10-15 mins until biscuity.
- While the pastry cooks, make the filling. Whisk the sugar and butter together until you get a pale paste. Beat in the eggs and finally add the almonds and flour. Spoon into pastry case, arrange the peach slices across the top in a pattern and bake for 30-40 mins until golden. When cool, brush your preserve or jam across the top. Serve with a little pot of crème fraîche on the side and eat it quick before anyone else gets their hands on it!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to a 3mm thickness. Cut a circle about 33cm in diameter with a sharp knife, using a plate or anything round as a guide. Using the rolling pin, transfer to the baking tray and score a circle 1cm in from the edge.
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 mins until lightly puffed and golden. Remove from the oven and gently push the centre down with the back of a large spoon so that you have a flat base with a raised border.
- Meanwhile, halve and stone the peaches, then slice thinly. In a bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, ground almonds, egg, lemon zest, almond extract and sherry, if using. Spread the frangipane evenly over the pastry, leaving the border free. Top with the peach slices, neatly overlapping them in circles. Sprinkle over the remaining sugar and the flaked almonds.
- Bake for 30 mins, then turn the oven down to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, cover the tart lightly with foil and cook for a further 30-40 mins. The frangipane should puff up between the peaches and be golden brown and set in the centre. Cool on a wire rack, then slice and serve. Leftovers will keep for 1 day.

Steps:
- To make the pastry, put the flour, butter and sugar in the bowl of food processor and pulse until it looks like breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and 1 tbsp cold water, then pulse again until it forms a ball. Wrap and chill for 30 mins.
- For the frangipane, beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy, add the egg, whisk again, then fold in the ground almonds to make a paste. Cut the peaches into thin slices, then toss in a bowl with the lemon juice, cornflour, vanilla and icing sugar. Mix gently until the fruit is coated and the cornflour dissolved. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and heat a large baking sheet on the middle shelf.
- Roll the pastry out in between two pieces of baking parchment to a large disc about 5mm thick and 35cm in diameter. Remove the top layer of parchment, draw a 30cm circle onto it, cut it out, and use as a template to cut out a disc of pastry, or roughly trim the pastry into a circle by eye for a more rustic look.
- Smooth the frangipane over the middle of the pastry with a spatula, leaving a 5cm border around the edge. Arrange the peach slices over the top in a pattern, either in a circle or little fans of fruit.
- Fold in the edges of the pastry to slightly overlap the fruit. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle over the demerara, then transfer to the hot baking sheet using the parchment.
- Bake for 30-35 mins until the pastry is golden and the fruit looks soft. Leave to cool to room temperature. Heat the jam in the microwave for a few seconds, or in a small pan until warm and runny, then use to glaze the fruit. Serve with thick cream or ice cream.
