<\/p>\nI’m pleased to be back with you to share a real treat, an easy recipe for an irresistible “galette des Rois” (Three Kings cake).<\/p>\n
Like chocolate at Easter, the galette des Rois is an unmissable seasonal gourmet tradition that we asbolutely love.<\/p>\n
This cake is eaten as a dessert during the month of January, from 7th January\u00a0onwards.<\/p>\n
But before starting, I also wanted to wish you all a happy new year with lots of happiness, a hint of craziness and a touch of success, all well mixed with love and friendship.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Preparation time (20 minutes)<\/p>\n
COOKING TIME: 40 minutes (keep a close watch on it!)<\/p>\n
First, as in any recipe that needs to go in the oven, preheat the oven to 200\u00b0 C (gas 7).<\/p>\n
You must remove the 2 packs of puff pastry from the fridge. BEWARE: the pastry needs to be at room temperature so you can roll it out or move it around easily.<\/p>\n
1- Start by beating the well-softened butter with the sugar and salt. Make sure your mixture is smooth, slightly fluffy.<\/p>\n
2- Add the 2 eggs with the zest of the lemon or the vanilla pod.<\/p>\n
3- Add the almond powder and mix well.<\/p>\n
4- Unroll the first pack of pastry and place it in your cake tin, retaining the baking sheet.<\/p>\n
5- Pour your “gourmet” mixture into the tin and spread it evenly over the pastry.<\/p>\n
6- Add the f\u00e8ve. (If you don’t have one from previous years, ask your baker).<\/p>\n
7- Cover the whole thing with the second piece of puff pastry and use your fingers to seal the two pieces of pastry like a hem.<\/p>\n
8- Brush the entire surface of your cake with the egg yolk;<\/p>\n
9- And finally, use a knife to draw patterns on the cake and especially, pierce the pastry with the tip of your knife so it doesn’t puff up too much.<\/p>\n

It is said that the galette des Rois originated in Roman festivals celebrating the god Saturn and the sun, when anyone could be designated\u00a0 king for a day and have the chance to do whatever they liked. This is why there is a token hidden in the cake. But there is another legend that says that whoever finds the token must offer everyone at the table a round, which nowadays means to give them a galette des Rois.<\/p>\n
So, play fair, don’t swallow the f\u00e8ve, make my “panda king galette”, and you’ll amaze your family and friends. Bravo!<\/p>\n
