I love an easy, impressive dessert. Only a few ingredients have to have little to no elbow fat and ultimately achieve a large payout. The Rois galette delivers on all fronts. Often made for the three king’s day in early January, there is really no better time to make this dessert than if you want to hell. Why should January have all the fun? Make it on the birthday of your partner, friends for dinner or for your upcoming Mardi Gras party. The whole hard work is done with the miracles prefabricated puff pastry. You can have a dessert stunner in about 40 minutes.
What is a galette of the ROIS?
A galette of the ROIS, French for “King Cake”, is filled with a simple Frangipane almond paste. There is an optional Féve (jewelry or a bean) for the day of three kings, but I don’t find a surprise that is a lot of fun in my dessert, so I leave it out. The only thing some require is to make the almond frangipane filling, which is blessed. Simply mix the six room temperature ingredients in a bowl with a wooden spoon for 60 seconds. Here is The recipe I useand try not to spend the almond train if you can help him (because It makes everyone better).
How to make a French royal cake
As soon as the Frangipane is mixed, the jewel of the frozen gait is deciphered: shop bought, all-butter-puff pastry. Make sure that it is thawed according to the instructions of the package – you will not get far if it is frozen.
1. Cut off the puff pastry
You need two leaves of puff pastry in the same size. You can use instructions such as a 9-inch cake shape, which placed above and tracked with a knife. Do this with both leaves of pastries. (Technically speaking, they could leave out trim and make a rectangular cake. Nobody is the boss of them.)
2. Layer on the filling
Place a circle of pastries on a sheet metal shell lined with parchment paper. Brush the outer centimeter with an egg wash. Try not to dribble it over the edge, and it hinders the pastry campaign of the pastries in these places. (Egg cooks at a lower temperature than the pastries so that the egg hardens before the pastries had the chance to rise.) Fill the center with a very thin layer of jam (this is optional, but I like it). Then distribute a thick layer of the almond frangipane (a third of up to half a customs thick), but keep it in the egg wash circumference.
3 .. seal the top and bake
Place the second sheet of pastries over it and carefully press the edges down to contact the egg washing edge. Wash the entire top of the pastry. Do not let the egg drain from the edges.
If you want to create a classic Sun burst pattern or a pattern at all, the time is now. Use the back of a peel meter (not the cutting edge) to tear down the lines. Bake in a 425 ° F -oven for 25 minutes. End with a severe dust of powdered sugar.
The ROIS galette is best served during the day, but you can cut all the remains into individual slices, wrap them well. If you feel like a sweet reward, repeat it in a 350 ° F -oven for 10 minutes.
