  • Servings: 4
  • 3 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup ice water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (i use splenda)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cubed

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into thin slices

Recipe

  • 1 pastry.
  • 2 in a small bowl, whisk butttermilk and water.
  • 3 in a large bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt.
  • 4 using pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter.
  • 5 sprinkle pastry with buttermilk mixture; with a fork mix until just combined, you may not need all of the buttermilk mixture, save any left to brush on just before putting in oven.
  • 6 turn pastry onto lightly floured surface; divide into four pieces and press each into disc shape.
  • 7 wrap discs individually in plastic wrap; refrigerate two hours or overnight.
  • 8 to prepare galettes.
  • 9 in a large bowl, combine peaches, berries, sugar and honey.
  • 10 on lightly floured surface, roll chilled pastry discs into 6 inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick; transfer rounds to parchment lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.
  • 11 (i did not use parchment, i sprayed a rimmed cookie sheet with veggie spray).
  • 12 arrange 1 cup of peach mixture in centre of each circle, leaving 1 1/2 inch edge; top with butter.
  • 13 fold dough over fruit, pleating and leaving centre uncovered; brush pastry with water, (i used left over buttermilk mixture), and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
  • 14 bake in the bottom third of a 400f degree oven 20 to 25 minutes or until pastry is golden and crisp, cool on rack.
  • 15 serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
  • 16 almost any combination of 4 cups of fruit can be used, i used more blueberries, less peaches, because that is what i had around.
  • 17 i also made only two and cut each one in half when i served it; for smaller servings they could even be cut into 4 each.
