Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice-cold water
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • 3–4 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups or 600g)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or scraped seeds from 1 vanilla bean pod
  • 2–3 teaspoons whole milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Swirl occasionally as it foams and turns golden brown (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Pour in the browned butter, mixing with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking it; it should hold when pressed but not be sticky.
  3. Chill the Dough: Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Toss gently until peaches are well coated. Set aside to macerate while the dough chills.
  5. Roll out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a roughly 12-inch (30cm) circle, about 1/8 inch (3mm) thick. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Assemble the Galette: Spoon the peach filling onto the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5cm) border around the edges. Fold the edges over the filling, pleating the dough as you go to create a rustic crust.
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the crust with a little milk or beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is deep golden and the peaches are bubbling.
  8. Make the Vanilla Bean Glaze: While the galette bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and milk until smooth. Adjust the milk to reach a drizzle-able consistency.
  9. Finish and Serve: Let the galette cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm peaches. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use Kerrygold butter for best texture and flavor. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and milk with almond or oat milk. Chill dough to prevent shrinking and soggy crust. Tent with foil if crust browns too fast. Adjust glaze thickness by adding milk slowly.
