Galette des rois is a classic French confection made with just two components: puff pastry and frangipane. Traditionally served to mark the Epiphany, a small token (called a “fève”) is baked into the cake, and whoever finds it is crowned “king for the day.” The galette des rois is a deceptively simple preparation; pulling of a perfect one relies mostly on technique.
In this video, chef Tim Chin walks you through the process for making the galette and shows you how focusing on dough temperature, precision assembly, and thoughtful baking will help you produce a perfectly round, symmetrical, and beautifully decorated cake that’s fit for a king.
