👑 Galette des rois 👑

“The French have been serving up galette des rois since the 14th-century. Traditionally, it’s served on January 6th to celebrate the Epiphany, a religious feast day commemorating the arrival of the Three Kings. Today, it is simply a festive way to celebrate the new year with family and friends, regardless of religious background.”

Ingredients serve for 6-8 people:

2 puff pastry (store bought) 2 eggs 75 g soft butter 150 g grounded almond 80 g sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 tbsp applemousse (optional)

1 egg yolk (for brushing the dough)

Steps:

Create holes in the puff pastry and spread the apple mousse on top, leave 2-3cm from the sides.
Spread the almond paste mixture on top of the apple mousse add a bean or a little figure if you want to play the galette des rois game. I forgot
Place the 2nd puff pastry on top of the first one and connect the edges with a fork, you can give a shape as you wish to the sides.
With the help of a knife, create some patterns on the dough.\
