The Galette des Rois in the oven!
Yes, finally, they are baked! Actually, we baked them and took them home on Monday. I've just been too busy eating it to post about it.
Above, is Chef Florent's galette. It is nice and tall, this is because the puff pastry was well made, as well because the top layer was sealed very well to the bottom layer.
This is my galette! The issue that I had with it, was that I did not seal the top layer of puff pastry well enough to the bottom layer, so some of the frangipane filling came out, resulting in a less voluminous cake.
Though, it is not the most esthetically pleasing dessert. It is scrumptious! And I'm sure, with practice I can make a way to get it to be a pretty cake, with out taking away the traditional aspects.
Yummy!
It's supposed to be paired with a nice big glass of alcoholic apple cider (yes, even for the children!) But I enjoy a nice glass of cold milk with it!
Oh look! The Roi! Yay!
Until next time!

Of course, you had to have the roi huh!
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty tasty to me : )
ReplyDeleteBut I'm confused, there's actually a little roi in there?!!
oxo
Just read your old post about the hidden little roi... I get it now. Is he edible?
ReplyDeleteThough your galette didn't rise as high, from the top view, yours looks prettier due to the golden colour. I'm curious, how many pieces did you have to go through to get the roi?! Another question... are your referred to as Chef(fe) Briana?
ReplyDeleteVanessa: Nope he's not edible, he's made out of ceramic.
ReplyDeleteMumma: Only the Chef is called Chef! (and I gave half of my galette away to my partner so I only went through half the cake to get it!)
oh my goodness. this looks amazing.
