So Chic Recipe: the real French Galette des Rois

  • - Gastronomy

Ingredients:

  • 2 sheets of puff pastry

  • 100 g (1 cup) ground almonds

  • 80 g (⅓ cup) sugar

  • 100 g (7 tbsp) soft butter

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (or 1 packet vanilla sugar)

  • 1 figurine or bean (the fève)

  • 1 egg yolk (for glazing)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

  2. In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar until smooth.

  3. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the ground almonds and vanilla.

  4. Place one sheet of puff pastry on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

  5. Spread the almond filling in the center, leaving about 2 cm (¾ inch) around the edges.

  6. Hide the figurine in the filling.

  7. Cover with the second sheet of puff pastry and seal the edges well.

  8. Brush the top with the egg yolk (avoid the edges).

  9. Decorate the top with light cuts using a knife (do not cut through).

  10. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden brown.

Tip

Let the cake rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing so it sets nicely.
