I recently wrote that the galette des rois is the traditional cake for the Epiphany in France and is eaten throughout January (read my previous article<\/a> to find out what a galette is, and what’s the tradition behind it).<\/p>\n

It is made of a crunchy puff pastry<\/strong> exterior with a creamy filling<\/strong> (usually the predominant flavour is almond) and whoever finds the small “f\u00e8ve<\/strong>” (a small sculpture hidden inside the cake) becomes “king\/queen for a day”.<\/p>\n

Last year I mademy first attempt<\/strong> at making a galette des rois<\/strong>, and although the result was tasty<\/strong>, the appearance was, well… have a look here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So this year it was a great satisfaction<\/strong> to come out with something much nicer<\/strong>!!!<\/p>\n

\"Recipe<\/a><\/p>\n

As first step-by-step<\/strong> recipe<\/strong> of galette des rois on the blog, I chose to go traditional<\/strong> and I opted for a filling <\/strong>of frangipane<\/strong> cream<\/strong>, a delicate mix of almond cream and pastry cream<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of course I also made the puff pastry<\/a> myself, but you can buy a ready-made one at the supermarket<\/em> (just be aware that it will never be as good as mine!) \ud83d\ude42 and in that case making a galette becomes a super easy<\/strong> and quick job!<\/p>\n

Now who will be king or queen for a day<\/strong>? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
