My wits have not quite settled down living in this new city, so coming up with a new recipe post has been evading me lately. Today I fell instantly in love with a photograph from My Blue and White Kitchen, walked to the store for peaches and nectarines (I still am holding tightly onto peach season) and had a very happy few hours mixing and baking - and enjoying the fruits of my labor.
As I do with any new recipe, I followed her recipe exactly, except for a tablespoon or so of stripped fresh thyme leaves and a pinch of nutmeg in the dough. Why? Because thyme is my favorite herb ever, and I had a glass of sprigs beside the flour tin; and nutmeg is almost always in my desserts, again, because I love it.
I still think I didn't roll the dough thin enough, but my taste-tester disagreed with me - she and her husband loved the fat, amazingly flaky dough, and the cooked fruits, so there you are - I leave it up to you.
You can find the recipe here - and I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did - it's a keeper!

They are so pretty!
Thank goodness we like to play in the kitchen:) Gives everyone pleasure!
I thought of you when I was making these, Nana - they seemed to be something you might make. Great dough and easy and fast (except for the chilling time) - one of the best tasting pastry dough I've ever made.
Such delight making this, and having it come out so delicious -well, that's a big bonus!
