Ingredients
⅔ cup all-purpose flour + 2 Tbsp
½ cup granulated sugar + 1 ¼ tsp.
6 Tbsp. cold butter
Juice of 1 lemon
3 medium nectarines
½ tsp salt
¼ cup of water
⅛ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp cinnamon
Cooking Steps
Make Dough
In a medium bowl, combine ⅔ cup flour, 1 tsp sugar, and ½ tsp salt.
Cut 6 Tbsp cold butter into about ½ in pieces and stir into the flour mixture. Use your fingers to flatten and press the butter in slightly.
Chill Dough
Sprinkle ¼ cup of very cold water over the butter. Stir until just combined.
Next, use your hands to knead the mixture a few times until the dough forms a shaggy ball. Form the dough into a round 4-inch disk (about ¾ inch thick). Wrap in plastic and chill in the fridge for at least an hour (max 24 hours).
Make Filling
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and quarter 3 medium nectarines.
Cut nectarines into ½-inch thick slices then place them into a medium bowl. Stir the juice of 1 lemon, ½ cup (8 Tbsp) sugar, 2 Tbsp flour, ⅛ tsp ground ginger, ½ tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of salt with the nectarines to combine.
Form Galette
On a well-floured surface, roll out the dough into a 10-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spoon the filling into the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, leaving the majority of the fruit exposed.
Bake Galette
Sprinkle the crust with about ¼ tsp sugar. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly about 45 min.
Remove from the oven and let cool. Enjoy!
