Why on earth would you wait more than 20 years to tell me???<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How could I have not imagined he would love galette.

something\u2026 probably because of the cold temperature inside it is not as tedious as I remembered, and no butter spill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the frangipane I used a standard recipe: almond powder plenty, 1 egg, a bit of sugar and a tiny bit of butter, stirred into a dense pomade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest is just simple. I decided for a square galette, rolled one layer of dough, topped with frangipane, leaving enough room to close it. Rolled another layer of dough to put on top, sealed the borders well. Paint an egg batter. Made a little seasonal drawing: blooming camellia japonica as we have so many in the garden, and 30min at 200deg. Until just golden. A. couldn\u2019t wait any longer!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result was surprisingly delicious. It didn\u2019t have the sticky sugary top it too often has in shops, it was not too sweet, actually very nice, and the puff pastry worked well! Beginner\u2019s luck!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1440\" src=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/f4ff156c-2572-4417-b2e5-10a531b0fd9e.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5735\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/f4ff156c-2572-4417-b2e5-10a531b0fd9e.jpg 1440w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/f4ff156c-2572-4417-b2e5-10a531b0fd9e-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/f4ff156c-2572-4417-b2e5-10a531b0fd9e-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/f4ff156c-2572-4417-b2e5-10a531b0fd9e-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/f4ff156c-2572-4417-b2e5-10a531b0fd9e-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/f4ff156c-2572-4417-b2e5-10a531b0fd9e-500x500.jpg 500w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/f4ff156c-2572-4417-b2e5-10a531b0fd9e-1400x1400.jpg 1400w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/f4ff156c-2572-4417-b2e5-10a531b0fd9e-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there is one traditional food I don\u2019t care much about it\u2019s the Epiphany kings\u2019 galette, the \u201cgalette des rois\u201d.
