Come on, put on your kitchen apron and get to work!
Don't worry, the preparation is really super easy and quick. Watch:
For 4 people

- 125g almond powder
- 100g of sugar
- 2 eggs
- 70 g of butter

- 1 bean
1. Spread the first puff pastry in a pie dish and prick it.
2. Then prepare the frangipane by mixing the powdered almonds with the sugar.
3. Add a whole egg and only the white of the second egg and the softened butter.
4. Pour the tablespoon of rum.
5. Spread the frangipane on the dough and don't forget to place the fève.
6. Cover the galette with the second puff pastry.
7. With the remaining egg yolk, brown it using a brush.
8. Decorate the cake with drawings with a knife.
9. Put everything in the oven at 200°C (thermostat 6 or 7) for 20 minutes.
And here is your homemade galette des Rois is already ready :-)
All you have to do is take the cake out of the oven.
Easy, right?
And so much more economical than if you bought it ready-made...
Don't forget that the galette is served warm so let it cool before serving.
Accompany with the traditional glass of cider and everything will be perfect!
A word of advice, do not place the bean in the center of the cake.
Otherwise when you cut it, your knife will inevitably pass over it and your guests will then know where it is.
I wish you good luck in finding this famous bean, it seems to bring good luck :-)
