Steps:
- In a food processor, combine flour, cornmeal, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and salt. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until a dough forms. Shape dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a clean food processor, grind almonds and confectioners' sugar to a fine meal. Add egg yolk and almond extract and blend; set aside. In a large bowl, combine peaches, honey, and cinnamon; set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough out to a 14-inch circle. Fit into a 10-inch pie plate. Spread almond paste over dough, including up the sides. Add peaches. Fold edges of dough over peaches to form a rustic flat pie with about a 2-inch-wide border, as shown above. Brush dough with water and sprinkle with remaining granulated sugar. Bake until filling is bubbling and crust is flaky and golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.

PEACH AND ALMOND GALETTE
My first introduction to "Galette" was in French Pastry Cafe, a few years ago. This french cafe made these gorgeous looking, free-form, flaky, and rustic fruit tarts with a thin layer of fruit on the top. I always loved'em for flaky and buttery crust - totally indulgent in taste, yet had fresh and sweet bite of stone fruits (like cherries, peaches, plums, you name it!). They had a huge variety of galettes and whenever I visited, all I wanted was a slice of Galette.It is interesting that I loved eating galette in French Cafe so much that never cared to make one at home. I guess, the convenience of French Bakery around the corner spoiled my inner-chef who always wanna try everything (well, that be a exaggeration, let's say many things) I eat out, at home :). Two years back, we moved to a different area and that sweet indulgent ride ended for a while....... until recently I craved for those galettes soooo much that decided to make'em at home (finally!!!)Galette is pretty easy to make, specially the shape is rustic, free-form. So you don't need tart/pie shell to make neat tart edges. The most important thing for a great, buttery and flaky galette is the crust - a BIG in butter crust. If you can find frozen Puff Pastry crust/Pie Crust, the job is half done right away. I have used Puff Pastry Crust for this recipe. However it is very easy to make flaky tart crust at home. Just like Pie Crust, mix big chunks of cold-diced butter into the all-purpose flour and mix using pastry-dough-cutter or in food processor. Also make sure, water used to make dough is chilled or otherwise butter will melt in dough and crust will not be flaky.For this recipe, I made petite, individual portion galettes, perfect to serve for party. Every one has their own portion with scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream and no messy crumbs around. This is great when you know head-count for the party Or otherwise you can make one big size free-form galette using same technique and then slice'em per request for guests.I am telling you, one slice of this peach galette is passport to heaven - as mouthwatering as it looks. Flaky crust, mild-sweet almond filling and fresh baked peaches on the top. Oh-ho-ho-ho, who needs dinner, i can just dine on a slice of my Peach Galette and call it a day. Well, that is a trade-off you know! I mean, to enjoy buttery goodness, (my guilty pleasure), I can happily give-up dinner any given day :) You know what?? ask Vishal ;) he will happily give-up dinner too... but.... will demand 3-4 petite peach galettes in return. smart!! han!!Even while taking these shots, someone kept telling me "Ice cream is melting!! " "How many clicks do you want?" Any guesses? Who's lines are these?You keep guessing and I stop talking now... I can see you too want to jump to the recipe :) Let's just get to the recipe. And Let me know who is making'em tomorrow! Or may be today!?!?
