Equipment
- 1 Rolling pin For rolling the pastry
- 1 Baking sheet To bake the galette
- 1 Pastry brush For egg wash
Ingredients
- 500 g Puff pastry Store-bought or homemade
- 100 g Almond flour
- 100 g Butter Softened
- 100 g Sugar
- 2 Eggs 1 for filling, 1 for egg wash
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 Fève Optional, a small charm or bean
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the almond flour, 1 egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined to form the almond cream.
- Roll out the puff pastry and cut into two circles of equal size.
