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:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, milk and almond extract.
- Pour wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix gently.
- 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.
- 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.
- Starting on the outside, arrange the peaches overlapping in a concentric circle over the pastry.
- Fill in the center in whatever pattern makes sense.
- Sprinkle the butter mixture over the top and bake for 35-45 minutes.
