  • 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles peas.
  3. Add water by the tablespoon and process until dough comes together; do not over process.

  5. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  6. Roll dough on roll pat or lightly floured board to 1/4-inch thick.
  7. 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.
  8. Sprinkle peaches with sugar, flour and Grand Marnier; toss to coat.
  9. Spoon into the center of the dough, leaving a 3-inch border.
  10. Fold the border of the dough over the fruit, pinching to fit and seal any cracks.
  11. Brush dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with a little sugar.
  12. Chill until dough is firm again.
  13. 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.
