Rustic Pear and Almond Galette with Honey-Lavender Glaze

Ingredients

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

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

Method

1. 01
   In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
2. 02
   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. 03
   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. 04
   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. 05
   Arrange the pear slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the pears.
6. 06
   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. 07
   Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the pears are tender.
8. 08
   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. 09
   Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the honey-lavender glaze over the top before serving.
