🔥 Instructions

1. Brown the Butter:

1. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over medium heat.

2. Stir constantly as it foams and then begins to brown (golden specks appear and it smells nutty), about 6–8 minutes.

3. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. It will be used both in the dough and in the peach filling.

2. Make the Dough:

1. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt.

2. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Drizzle in 5 tbsp of the cooled brown butter, then mix in ice water 1 tbsp at a time just until dough comes together.

4. Divide dough in half, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

5. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
