The start to the year seems to have whizzed along, and Epiphany is with us already. The Christmas decorations are down, and I’ve already bought our galette des rois. I do love this lovely little french tradition. A galette des rois is a pastry case stuffed with frangipane (almonds) and a small fève, which is a little charm hidden in the tart. Careful not to break a tooth, or worse still choke on it! If you find the fève then you get to be king and wear the crown. All in all a bit of fun and a very tasty and delightful little treat to enjoy after the Christmas festivities.
Brian found the fève this year, which is a porcelain cat, so he got to wear his crown. Next year, I am definitely going to make my own galette. I think I will see if Brian can make me a fève.
