Thanks for your version of the recipe! It does look easy with lovely round numbers. I may try it next week... though I admit to eating way too much of my own already!Madeleine Vedelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349993969117086489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577123711543704044.post-26547184025858574442010-01-20T22:29:46.466+01:002010-01-20T22:29:46.466+01:00I love the "parisienne" version of galet...I love the "parisienne" version of galettes des rois (with puff pastry and frangipane) vs. the provençal version of it of brioche with fruits confits.<br /><br /><br />Have you noticed how this time of the year puff pastry can be really hard to find in supermarkets? You really have to purchase it early!<br /><br />I found an easy French recipe for frangipane :<br />2 eggs<br />100 grams sugar<br />100 grams butter<br />100 grams ground almonds<br />(I had a 125 gram bag so I put the lot)<br /><br />Easy to remember, easy to make, delicious.Nathalie H.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16806509041466785588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577123711543704044.post-47885790846643615192010-01-16T17:34:37.393+01:002010-01-16T17:34:37.393+01:00Huum... the picture is attractive.
