peachy keen

Jul 05, 2007 10:36

Yesterday I checked out all my favorite vegan food blogs and everyone did some kind of pie. I decided to make a peach galette type pastry last night since we had some awesome peaches laying around. I made a basic pie crust with flour, Earth Balance "buttery"sticks, sea salt, sugar and ice water. I then made the peach filling by cooking the peaches a bit on the stove with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg (can you tell we love cinnamon and nutmeg in this house???) and thickened it up with a corn starch slurry. After the dough rested in the fridge for about an hour I rolled out the crust and made a boarder so the peach juice wouldn't run out. I then strategically placed rows of my cooked peaches and sprinkled the top with natural sugar. It was baked until the crust was golden and the peaches were bubbly.
This wasn't as good as the apple galette I made maybe a month ago but was still pretty good.
