皮蒂維耶或國王餅

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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