Galettes Des Rois
" Learn how to make this traditional French Galette des Rois enjoyed throughout January. Layers of crisp puff pastry surround a fragrant almond cream, resulting in a heavenly textural contrast. It's simple to make and utterly delicious- so much so you'll want to make it all year round. Galette des Rois literally translates as King Cake and was baked to celebrate the arrival of the three wise men (Kings) into Bethlehem. It also marks the end of the festive season. This King Cake comprises 2 sheets of puff pastry (pâte feuilletée) filled with an almond cream (crème d'amandes) filling. The pastry bakes to golden, buttery, crisp perfection, perfectly suited to the rich, nutty almond filling within. It's totally delicious!"
