Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water
  • 3–4 ripe nectarines, sliced thinly (about 2 cups or 300g)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Add cold cubed butter and cut into flour using a pastry cutter or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  2. Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently until dough just comes together. Avoid overworking. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Combine sliced nectarines, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Toss gently to coat evenly and set aside.
  4. Lightly flour work surface and roll dough into a roughly 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Pile nectarine filling in center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over filling, pleating as you go.
  6. Brush crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake galette for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and fruit is bubbling. Tent edges with foil halfway through if browning too fast.
  8. While baking, mix honey, lemon juice, and melted butter for glaze.
  9. When galette is out of oven, immediately brush honey glaze over warm fruit and crust.
  10. Cool galette on wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Keep butter as cold as possible for a flaky crust. Chill dough before rolling. Tent crust edges with foil if browning too fast. Avoid overfilling to prevent soggy crust. Use gluten-free flour blend or coconut oil and maple syrup for gluten-free or vegan versions.
