做法

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients listed under "Almond Cream Filling." Use a hand mixer to stir and blend them until the mixture becomes smooth.

製作餡料：喺大碗入面放入所有餡料材料，用手提攪拌機打至順滑。

Assemble the Base: Unroll one sheet of puff pastry and carefully place it onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Evenly spread the made almond cream filling over this pastry sheet. If you wish, don't forget to insert the fève (a small charm or bean) into the filling at this point!

將一片千層酥皮攤開，放喺鋪咗烘焙紙嘅焗盤上。將杏仁忌廉餡鋪喺面層，如果喜歡記得放入fève（小陶瓷或豆仔）！

Add Top Layer: Gently place the second sheet of puff pastry over the filling. Press down firmly around the edges to ensure they are well sealed.

蓋上第二片千層酥皮，將邊緣壓緊封好。

Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat together the whole egg and the egg yolk to create your egg wash. Brush the surface of the galette with a coat of this egg wash. Place the galette in the freezer for 10 minutes. After chilling, apply a second coat of egg wash.

喺碗中將整隻雞蛋同蛋黃打勻做蛋液。將蛋液掃喺國王餅上，掃兩次，每次之間放入冰格靜置10分鐘。

Score the Pastry: Using a sharp knife or a scalpel, carefully score the top of the galette with any decorative pattern you like.

用利刀或手術刀喺國王餅面層劃上任何你喜歡嘅花紋。

Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once hot, bake the galette for 25 minutes.

焗爐預熱至200°C（400°F），焗25分鐘。

Optional Shiny Glaze: For an extra shiny finish, prepare a syrup while the galette bakes. In a small saucepan, combine the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Bring this mixture to a boil and let it bubble. As soon as the hot galette comes out of the oven, brush it immediately with this syrup.

可選：想要光亮效果，可以將水同砂糖一起煮至滾泡做成糖漿。國王餅出爐後即刻掃上糖漿。

Serve: If you plan to serve the galette later, reheat it in the oven before serving to ensure it is enjoyed warm.

如果打算之後先食，上桌前先喺焗爐翻熱，趁熱享用。
