Une Galette des Rois is a traditional French cake made solely to be eaten on the holiday Epiphanie (January 6) It is By far the most bizarre thing I've ever made-a simple paste known as Frangipane is all thats inside two rounds of phyllo dough. Read more . The French tradition is to hide a fava bean inside, the youngest person in the room hides under the table and calls out the cake distribution, and whoever finds the bean gets to wear the crown on top. I just made this for my French class (yes we still do things like that in college) oh well, excuse to bake! Ingredients:
1/2 cup ground almonds |
1 stick butter |
3 eggs |
1/4 cup of sugar |
2 sheets puff pastry |
powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Grind almonds in food processor
2. Beat sugar and butter
3. add TWO eggs and almonds.
4. You now have Frangipane!
5. Butter a flat baking sheet
6. unfold thawed puff pastries and using a pie pan as a template cut into two circles
7. Lay one circle on buttered sheet and spread Frangipane in the middle
8. Place a dried fava bean or ceramic figure in the Frangipane
9. Using the last egg, beat and paint the edges of the dough
10. Place the other dough circle on top and seal the edges very tight!
11. Brush top with egg (i forgot to in my picture)
12. Bake ~ 25-30 min at 375
13. Dust with powdered sugar
14. AND you have to put a gold paper crown on top. Whoever finds the fava bean wears the crown and is king for the day!
15. You can eat it now.
