Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. Place the flour, salt, and sugar into a food processor and pulse briefly to combine.
  2. Add the cold, diced butter and pulse approximately 10 times until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Pour in the cold buttermilk and pulse until the dough is thick and slightly sticky.
Chill the Dough
  1. Transfer the dough onto a sheet of cling film. Flatten into a thick disc, wrap it up, and refrigerate for about an hour.
Prepare the Peach Filling
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, honey, and vanilla extract. Toss until well-coated.
Roll Out the Dough
  1. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out into a 10-inch circle on parchment paper.
Assemble the Galette
  1. Sprinkle the almond meal on the rolled dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
  2. Arrange the honey-coated peaches on top and fold the edges over the fruit, pleating as you go.
Chill & Preheat
  1. Freeze the assembled galette for 30 minutes to 1 hour and preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Egg Wash and Bake
  1. Mix the beaten egg with water and brush it over the crust edges.
  2. Sprinkle raw sugar and slivered almonds on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve Warm
  1. Allow to cool slightly before serving, preferably with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

You can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to two days. For the best taste, choose ripe freestone peaches or substitute with nectarines or apricots. Adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the flavor.
