Galette Des Rois (French King Cake)

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Roll the puff pastry to about 1/8" thick-rectangle. Trace two 8" circles. Place one circle on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Fill center of the circle with almond cream and add a trinket (I used a candied kumquat) as the surprise inside.
  • Egg wash edges. Top with second layer and press together. Egg wash top and freeze for about 30+ minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Decorate the top of the puff pastry with a very sharp knife or razor blade. Create an air vent in the center.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Cool slightly, serve warm or at room temperature.
