Galette des rois – the recipe

by Sharon Santoni
a slice of almond tarte with a tiny spoon
When I told you about the traditional Galette des rois last weekend, several people were kind enough to ask for the recipe.  Nothing easier …. You’ll need:
2 blocks ready made puff pastry
2 eggs
2/3 cup/100g ground almonds
1/3 cup/70g softened butter
1/2 cup/100g sugar
1 soup spoon plain four
       I soup spoon rum
Pre-heat the oven to 200 deg C.
Roll out the puff pastry into two large identical rounds. Place one onto the baking sheet.  Mix together all the other ingredients (except for one egg yolk, this will be used for brushing the pastry case).  Spread the almond mixture onto the first round, being careful to go no closer than half an inch to the edge.
Carefully lay the second round of pastry over the top and seal the edges with a little water.  Brush the top piece of pastry and round the sides with the remaining egg yolk.  Bake in the oven till golden, for about 25 minutes.

The galette can be eaten cold but is best slightly warm.
Have a yummy weekend!

I made this tonight – lovely. Though I am rather clueless as to working with puff pastry and the results will look better after I do a little research! I've also made the fondant au chocolat two times. So nice to have recipes that are so different from the usual N American fare.

I’ve been taking full spectrum cbd for a while conditions, and they’ve creditably been a game-changer looking for burden and sleep. The pre-eminent part? No grogginess in the morning honourable a cool off, relaxed sensation rather than bed. Plus, they taste tickety-boo, unequivalent to some other supplements I’ve tried. I was skeptical at key, but after devotedly using them, I can indubitably bruit about they avoid with unwinding after a long day. If you’re looking representing a unembellished way to iciness without any strange side effects, CBD gummies are worth trying. Unbiased provoke steadfast you get a importance tag with third-party testing!
