In the south-west, the brioche galette with a little orange blossom is at the top of the game. Yet the most crunchy is made from puff pastry with a good frangipane cream and a hint of rum. Here is the recipe according to Pastry Chef and Youtubeur Fabrice Cottez: “We will prepare a good homemade puff pastry we weigh 300g Flour T45 / 7g Salt / 140g Water / and my little professional tip 30g of cold melted butter that will allow you to ” lengthen your dough more easily !! (you knead 5 min and reserve your tempera for 30 min.) During this time you prepare 230g of butter (but be careful you have to choose a butter with at least 82% fat. You lower your tempera and place your butter inside / close and spread with a rolling pin // to start you will perform 2 simple turns then place in the fridge for 2 hours then rewel and that until you obtain 6 simple turns in total! Then for the garnish you will make a pretty frangipane cream! For that nothing could be simpler, you just need to mix 350g of pastry cream and 100g of almond cream // once the cream carried out lower v Our laminate to about 2 mm and you detail 2 pretty circles using a sharp knife or even a cutter! On the first disc of dough place your frangipane, put a small bean or a small piece and cover with the second disc! Brown the top with a beaten egg // and using the tip of a knife decorate your pancake as you wish! Bake for 20 minutes at 190 ° C then 20 minutes at 170 ° C to continue cooking without too much color! Once the cooking is finished you can apply a little syrup using a brush to increase the shiny sides! And finally time for tasting!

Fabrice Cottez: As usual if this recipe seems too long or too technical to you, go to your artisan baker to buy a real good pancake !! I wish you an excellent tasting and a very very happy new year 2022 !!
