Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cubed
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons ice water
  • 3 large ripe pears peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds toasted

Honey-Lavender Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon dried lavender crushed
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. 1 In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
  2. 2 Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. 3 Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. 5 Arrange the pear slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the pears.
  6. 6 Fold the edges of the dough over the pears to create a rustic edge. Brush the pears and crust with melted butter and sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the pears are tender.
  8. 8 While the galette is baking, prepare the honey-lavender glaze. In a small saucepan, combine honey, crushed lavender, and water. Heat gently until the honey is thinned and infused with lavender.
  9. 9 Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the honey-lavender glaze over the top before serving.
