Peach Galette With Crispy Sage

• For Pastry:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter
• 1/2 cup cold lard
• 1/2 cup cold water (approximately)
• For Filling, Topping & Garnish:
• canned peach halves, drained
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 egg
• milk
• 12 fresh sage leaves, plus extra to snack on!
• sea salt
• olive oil, for frying

1. For Pastry: Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter and lard with knife or pastry cutter until the fat is about the size of peas. Add water, a little at a time, while loosely mixing the butter and flour mixture and water with your fingers. Do not over mix, you should still be able to see bits of butter and lard throughout.
2. You may need a little more or less water - you want to have a shaggy dough that is not too sticky but if you press it together in your hand it will stick together nicely.rnWrap in plastic and refrigerate for an hour while you prepare the filling. Alternatively, the dough can be made ahead and taken out of the fridge when you are ready to make the galette.
3. For Filling: Drain canned peaches and either leave as halves or slice each half into 3 or 4 (I sliced each in 3 so they weren't too thin). Set Aside.
4. For Topping: Mix sugar, flour, cornstarch, salt and dried sage in a bowl. With your fingers, crumble in the 2 tablespoons of butter - rubbing it until it is an even, crumbly mixture. Set aside.
5. For Garnish: Pour olive oil in a small frying pan so it is a 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. Heat on medium-high. Once the oil is warm, add sage leaves and cook until they are starting to brown lightly (1-2 minutes). Remove from oil with slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Sprinkle with sea salt and let cool.
6. To Assemble: Roll out pastry to a 1/4-inch thick, turning a quarter turn every couple of rolls to make a circle. Line a baking tray with parchment and lay out the pastry on the tray. It will hang over the edges but you will fold them up after the topping is in.
7. Take the sliced or halved peaches and arrange them to cover the bottom leaving about 2-inches of pastry around the edge. Once all the peaches are down, fold the 2-inch pastry edge inwards to keep the fruit in. It will cover the peaches on the outer ring, leaving the middle open. rnMake a wash by beating an egg with a bit of milk and brush it over the pastry edge you folded up. Sprinkle the sugar/butter topping over the entire galette (on the pastry too!). It will seem like a lot but use it all, you won't regret it!
8. Bake in an oven pre-heated to 425F for 35-40 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the filling is bubbling. Allow to cool (this will help it firm up a bit) before moving to a serving plate. Use the parchment paper to help slide it of the baking tray on to the plate.
9. Top with sage chips. Serve with greek yogurt, or double cream for something a little extra special. Make sure everyone gets a couple of the crispy, salty sage chips with their slice!
