Ingredients

Pastry dough

  • 315 g flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 225 g cold butter
  • 120 g ice cold water
  • +egg wash mix a small egg with a tbsp of water or milk

Filling

  • 450 g peaches
  • 220 g nectarines
  • 60-100 g of sugar depending on the sweetness and ripeness of your fruit
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp ground cardamom
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp lemon thyme
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • +3 lemon thyme twigs for decoration
  • apricot jam for a shiny finish

Instructions

Pastry dough

  • Mix the flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor for a few seconds.
  • Then add the cold butter in pieces and blitz a few times until you get a mixture that resembles breadcrumbs (a bit bigger ones).
  • Now add the ice cold water and blitz again just until you have a barely uniform dough. Divide the dough into two parts, making a flat circle out of them and wrapping with cling film. Put in the fridge for half an hour.

Filling

  • Remove the skin from peaches.
  • Cut the peaches and apricots in eights.
  • Now put all the ingredients for the filling in a bowl and mix until well distributed.

Assemble

  • Roll out the first pastry dough into a 28 cm circle and place half of the filling to the middle, leaving 5 cm room around the edge.
  • Fold one part of the edge onto the filling and continue doing it all around until you have a gallete shape.
  • Repeat with the second dough and the rest of the filling. Make egg wash-beat the egg with water or milk and brush it over the exposed dough of the galettes.
  • Sprinkle some sugar on top of the galettes and bake until golden brown, around 1 h 10 min. Leave to cool a bit and brush the exposed filling with apricot jam that has been warmed up. Decorate with lemon thyme and serve.

Enjoy (:
