The Galette des Rois That Will Make You Feel Like a King!

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond meal, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, and a pinch of salt.

Beat the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. This is your almond cream filling.

Assemble the Galette:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Use a round template or a plate to cut two circles of puff pastry, about 9 inches (23 cm) in diameter.

Place one of the pastry circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Spread the almond cream over the pastry, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edge.

If you are using a dried bean or figurine, place it in the almond cream (traditionally, the person who finds the bean or figurine is crowned king or queen!).

Brush the border of the pastry with a little water or egg wash (beaten egg), and then cover with the second pastry circle.

Press the edges together to seal, and use a fork to crimp the edges.

Use a sharp knife to lightly score the top of the galette in a decorative pattern (like a spiral or criss-cross).

Brush the top with an egg wash (beaten egg) to give it a golden, glossy finish.
