Time 45m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

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
3 cups peaches, peeled,pitted and sliced
1 cup blueberries or 1 cup cranberries
1/4 cup sugar (I use splenda)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into thin slices

Steps:

  • Pastry.
  • In a small bowl, whisk butttermilk and water.
  • In a large bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt.
  • Using pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter.
  • 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.
  • Turn pastry onto lightly floured surface; divide into four pieces and press each into disc shape.
  • Wrap discs individually in plastic wrap; refrigerate two hours or overnight.
  • To prepare galettes.
  • In a large bowl, combine peaches, berries, sugar and honey.
  • 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.
  • (I did not use parchment, I sprayed a rimmed cookie sheet with veggie spray).
  • Arrange 1 cup of peach mixture in centre of each circle, leaving 1 1/2 inch edge; top with butter.
  • Fold dough over fruit, pleating and leaving centre uncovered; brush pastry with water, (I used left over buttermilk mixture), and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
  • Bake in the bottom third of a 400f degree oven 20 to 25 minutes or until pastry is golden and crisp, cool on rack.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
  • Almost any combination of 4 cups of fruit can be used, I used more blueberries, less peaches, because that is what I had around.
  • 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.
