Peach Tart

August 15, 2016

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups + 2 Tbs all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup + 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 Tbs milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 Tbs cold, unsalted butter
  • 3-4 small ripe peaches, pitted and thickly sliced

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, milk and almond extract.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix gently.
  5. Transfer the dough into an 11-inch tart pan and use your hand to pat out the dough so it covers the bottom of the pan, pushing it up the sides to meet the edge.
  6. In another bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar, 2 Tbs flour, 1/4 tsp salt, and the butter. Use your fingers to pinch the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
  7. Starting on the outside, arrange the peaches overlapping in a concentric circle over the pastry.
  8. Fill in the center in whatever pattern makes sense.
  9. Sprinkle the butter mixture over the top and bake for 35-45 minutes.
