Préparation
Mix almonds in powder and take out the butter from the fridge to make it more smooth.
For the pastry cream. Break 2 eggs before mixing them with the sugar. We whisk until we obtain a whitened mixture.
Add the flour, and mix again.
Cut the vanilla pod in half. We collect the seeds from the pod which we put in the milk, previously poured into a saucepan.
Heat the milk, before pouring it over the sugar and egg mixture, mix, put everything back in the saucepan. Heat the mixture over low heat until it thickens.
Then remove from the heat and place a film directly on the cream to make the preparation airtight.
To prepare the almond cream, mix the butter and sugar until everything turns white. Then add the egg yolks one by one before pouring in the almond powder.
Then mix the almond cream with the pastry cream.
Add the rum cork
Unroll the first of our two doughs onto which we spread the cream using the piping bag. Proceed in a spiral shape, starting from the center outwards, stopping 2 centimeters from the edge.
Insert the bean into the pancake!
Then brush the edge of our dough with the egg yolk.
Place the second dough on the cream then seal the edges with the first.
Using the brush, completely brown your galette des rois with egg yolk.
Draw the streaks on the cake using a knife. Then put it in the refrigerator for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 200° c before baking the pancake for 10 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 180° c and cook for another 30 minutes.
