Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 1/4 ounces butter, cold and cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 4 whole peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- Crème fraîche or whipped cream
Directions
- In a food processor, mix flour, sugar and salt. If you don't have a food processor, you can put ingredients into a bowl and cut the butter in using your fingertips.
- Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles peas.
- Add water by the tablespoon and process until dough comes together; do not over process.
- Gather dough into a ball, flatten into a disc, and chill for 1 hour. Can be made ahead.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Roll dough on roll pat or lightly floured board to 1/4-inch thick.
- Transfer dough to a baking sheet lined with a silpat or parchment paper. Optionally, add 1/4 cup of cream cheese filling to the pastry, leaving a 3-inch border on the edges.
- Sprinkle peaches with sugar, flour and Grand Marnier; toss to coat.
- Spoon into the center of the dough, leaving a 3-inch border.
- Fold the border of the dough over the fruit, pinching to fit and seal any cracks.
- Brush dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with a little sugar.
- Chill until dough is firm again.
- Bake in preheated oven until the pastry is golden and the filling bubbles, about 35 minutes. Cool slightly before serving. Serve with creme fraiche or whipped cream.
