Crust & Topping: 1 cup
white granulated sugar 3 cups unbleached all - purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, very cold (
like 15 - 20 minutes in the freezer very cold, not frozen) 1/4 cup buttermilk

white granulated sugar (if your peaches are
like crazy sweet juices everywhere omg then go ahed and use 3 tablespoons) tiny pinch of salt
1/3 c. olive or vegetable oil (I actually
like to use coconut oil instead, me not Elise) 1 c.
granulated sugar 3 eggs 2 tsp almond extract 1 tsp pur vanilla extract 3 1/4 cups all - purpose unbleached flour 1 Tbsp baking powder Zest of two oranges 3/4 c. dried cranberries 1/2 c.

This recipe starts by warming egg whites with
white granulated sugar until nice and creamy, just
like a Swiss Meringue.
If you need to make the recipe entirely
sugar - free, I
like Swerve brand
granulated sugar substitute (and have had some success with Lankato brand
white granulated sugar substitute), but that tends to be very drying so you might need more moisture.
