Galette des Rois

I know January is over, but this is a favorite at my house any time of year! And it's not too hard! First you'll need to make a

Pate feuilletée:

You can either make this easy one: Pie Crust Or the real deal: Pate Feuilletée

Divide the dough in two and place one rolled out in your 13" pie pan and roll the other one out, we'll need it later as a lid. Then you'll need to preheat your oven to 450F Now we're going to make

Almond Creme:

You'll need:

• 400 gramms of almond paste (frangipane)
• 3 eggs
• 100 gramms of sugar
• 2 Tbsp of Almond extract

Blend together with a blender and set a side. (Make sure there are no lumps) Now we make

Crème pâtissière

1/3 L of milk, bring it to a boil
Mix in a bowl to the side:

• 3 egg yolks
• 100 gramms powdered sugar
• 50 gramms flour
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract

Add this mixture about a cup of boiling milk to the mixture and mix well, then mix it all in with the milk and let it all boil for about 2 minutes (Until it's a thick pudding) Add the crème pâtissière to the almond cream and mix them well. Put the mixture in the pie pan, add your fève (little porcelain figurine) and cover with the remaining dough.

To finish it off mix:

• 1 egg yolk
• 1 Tbsp cold water
• 2 Tbsp powdered sugar

and paint the sealed pie with this. (If you want with your knife you can make fun designs on the pie)

Bake at 450F for 5 minutes, then at 380 for 25 minutes.

Let it cool for 10 minutes and then and hope to be the one who gets the fève and is then King or Queen for the day.

ENJOY!
