To make Galette Crust:
- 1¼ cups flour
- ¼ cup cornmeal
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold butter
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- ¼ tsp. maple flavoring
- To cook quince:
- 3 large quinces, peeled, cored and sliced
- 1 cup white sugar
- 4 ½ cups water
- ½ vanilla bean, halved and scraped
- Mix dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until pea-sized crumbs. Mix in buttermilk and flavoring until combined. Chill for at least a half hour. Remove from the refrigerator and roll into a circle on a lightly floured surface
- Bring quince ingredients to a simmer on low heat and cook just long enough to soften. Pour off water and cool.
- Layer quince on top of the galette circle. Drizzle with a 1/3 c. maple syrup and fold edges over. Brush with an egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 T. of milk). Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until golden.
