Long live the king!

If it pained me to miss the Christmas lights in Paris last month, it’s killing me to miss the galettes des rois this month.


Friday was the Day of Epiphany, a religious celebration of Christ being visited by the Three Kings on the Twelfth Night. The French, appropriately, celebrate with pastry.


The galette des rois is a relatively simple cake of two golden, flaky puff pastry shells filled with frangipane (almond paste). Maybe a little egg and sugar brushed on, maybe some crème fraiche or Grand Marnier mixed in. It depends on the recipe, and the baker.


But I’m quite certain all versions are delicious.
