- Place the dough on a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet.

Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier crust, ensure your butter is very cold and cut it in quickly to prevent it from warming. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute it with a mixture of milk and vinegar (1 tablespoon vinegar in 2 tablespoons milk). Feel free to use other fruits like apples or berries if peaches are out of season. This tart is also a great way to use up leftover fruit.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach tart warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a light salad or can be enjoyed alongside a cup of tea or coffee. For a twist, consider serving with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach tart covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to warm through and restore some crispness to the crust. Alternatively, you can enjoy it cold or at room temperature as a refreshing dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture. This will help prevent your tart from becoming soggy. Fresh peaches will provide a better texture and flavor, but frozen can work in a pinch.
How do I know when the tart is done baking?
The tart is done when the crust is golden brown and the peaches are tender. You can check by inserting a toothpick into the crust; it should come out clean. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning while the center continues to bake.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough up to 2 days in advance. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap after shaping it into a ball, and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to use, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before rolling it out for the tart.
