Recipe insights & TIPS

In my yard I have a peach tree and now it's giving me some soft juicy golden globes of goodness. The task now is to start using this bounty before it spoils or goes to the squirrels.

I was planning to make a peach pie but something which takes even less time to make is a galette. It looks rushed on purpose and there's no cute way for this tart to be uniformed.

All it takes is to mix the fruit with some other ingredients and plop it in the middle of the pastry and pull up the sides to make somewhat of a circle with the fruit in the middle crying "Come and get me".

I was happy with the way the galette turned out. The pastry recipe I used is my go to recipe for all things pie. It's foolproof and tastes great, easy and fast to make.

What more could anyone need? I cooked the galette for about 45 minutes, keeping an eye on it and rotating it to get a nice deep crust, I like my baked goods with color and not all pale and doughy.

After it's baked leave it to rest for at least 15-20 minutes and top with some of your favorite vanilla ice cream, for me that would be Haggen Daz!
