Homemade puff pastry
To make an exquisite galette des rois with your Thermomix, I recommend preparing the puff pastry yourself. Not only is it tastier, but you also avoid all the additives of industrial products. Follow this simple recipe and you’ll see, the result is well worth the effort!
Here is the list of ingredients you will need:
- 200 g very cold butter
- 200 g flour
- 90 g ice water
- 1 pinch salt
- 150 g almond powder
- 150 g sugar
- 75 g butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk (for gilding)
- 1 tablespoon rum or vanilla extract
To begin, cut the butter into small cubes and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This will produce a flaky pastry.
Then, in the Thermomix bowl, add the flour, salt and very cold butter cubes. Mix at speed 6 for 5 seconds. The aim is to obtain a sandy texture with the butter pieces still visible.
Now add the ice-cold water. Blend on speed 4 for 15 seconds until the dough begins to form. If necessary, add a small amount of water to achieve the desired consistency.
Remove the dough from the bowl, form into a ball, wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
After resting, roll out the dough into a rectangle, then fold into thirds in a wallet shape. Turn the dough a quarter turn and repeat. Repeat this process four times for optimum puff pastry.
Your homemade puff pastry is now ready to use. Divide it into two portions, one for the base and the other for the top of the galette. Next, prepare the frangipane by mixing the almond powder, sugar, softened butter, eggs and rum or vanilla extract. Spread the frangipane over the pastry base, place the bean, then cover with the other portion of pastry.
Carefully lift the edges of the galette to prevent warping during baking. Brush the surface with egg yolk for a perfect golden color, then bake at 180°C for 25-30 minutes.
Frangipane cream
To prepare a delicious galette des rois with your Thermomix, make sure you have all the ingredients you need at hand. The quality of the ingredients is essential to the success of this pastry. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 rolls puff pastry
- 120 g almond powder
- 100 g sugar
- 100 g soft butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk for gilding
- 1 tablespoon rum (optional)
- 1 bean
To make the crĂšme frangipane, start by placing the soft butter and sugar in the Thermomix bowl. Mix on speed 4 for one minute, until the mixture becomes creamy.
Then add the eggs one at a time, continuing to blend at speed 4. Add the almond powder and rum, if you wish. Blend at speed 4 for a further minute.
Unroll the first roll of puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the frangipane cream evenly, leaving a 2 cm border. Insert the fava bean into the cream.
Cover with the second roll of puff pastry and seal the edges by pressing lightly with your fingers or a fork. Brush the top with egg yolk and, if you wish, draw patterns with a knife.
Preheat your oven to 200°C and place the galette in the oven for around 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool before serving.
