Preparation : 20 mn
Baking Time : 45 mn at 350°F (180°C)

INGREDIENTS (6 to 8 serving)
1/ Pastry : 200g all-purpose flour, 60g confectioner's (icing) sugar, 130g unsalted butter, 1 egg yolk, half of lemon zest
2/ Fruits garnish : 5 peaches, 50g almond meal, 50g softened butter, 30g granulated sugar, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 eggs, 30g candied lemon skin, 1 lavender stem (option).

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Cut butter in small knobes. Put it in the mixer with icing sugar, flour and lemon zest. Add the yolk at the end.  Roll out pastry and lay into the mould (best is to use a cooking ring). If you use a metal mould, don't forget to grease it. Chill.
Meantime, prepare the fruits garnish.
Leave butter at room temperature to soften.
Make a cross on the bak side of peaches. Poach the fruits for 1 to 2 minutes in boiling water. Place the fruits in iced water then (it stops to cook). Remove the skins and cut it in quarters (same size is better !).
In a bowl combine butter and granulated sugar. In another bowl, whisk eggs with almond meal. Chop lemon skins in tiny dices. Add it with butter to the eggs mixture. Stir to combine until you get a smooth consistency.
Garnish pastry with almond mixture. Place peach quarters as shown on photo 1 above. Sprinkle lavender flower (option) and granulated brown sugar.
Bake for 45 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
