Well, I made my Galette des Rois using the same recipe I used last year and not the new one from PiriPiriLexicon. I'm not sure why but I just started making it and that's what I ended up with. I didn't take any pictures of the uncooked version but it was definitely not as pretty as last year. The decoration on top was minimal and I accidentally pierced the dough a few times which led to some leakage topside. But there was minimal leakage on the sides. Yay for that.
I somehow managed to only buy one sheet of French butter puff pastry. I'm not sure how that happened. And then I used it on the bottom when, in hindsight, it would have been better to use it on top and use the inferior German puff pastry on the bottom for maximal puffiness. Oh well. Live and learn for the next year. I will conquer this cake!!!
It tasted good though the top crust was not to my liking and the filling got drier than it did last year. Probably because I pierced the dough. Here is the one picture I have of the final product. Mr Me loved the cake and ate it every night for days. I thought it was ok and am slightly grumpy about the result. Next year I will win!!
