Cost: $7.60 total, $0.95 per serving

Ingredients

  • 60 g Unsalted Butter (softened at room temperature)
  • 100 g Peanut Butter (smooth, unsweetened if possible)
  • 3 pcs Eggs (large, room temperature)
  • 100 g Almond Flour (finely ground almond powder)
  • 100 g Granulated Sugar (for the almond‑peanut filling)
  • 2 pcs Puff Pastry Sheets (thick, all‑butter, kept cold)
  • 1 pcs Egg Yolk (for glaze, beaten with a splash of water)
  • 40 g Sugar (for syrup) (optional, for a glossy finish)
  • 40 g Water (for syrup) (optional, for a glossy finish)
  • 1 pcs Fève (figurine) (optional traditional hidden charm)

Instructions

  1. Make the almond‑peanut filling

    In a mixing bowl combine the granulated sugar, almond flour, softened butter, peanut butter, and two of the eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Pre‑heat the oven

    Set the oven to 180°C (350°F) and let it fully pre‑heat while you prepare the pastry.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: 180°C

  3. Roll out the first puff pastry sheet

    Place a sheet of thick puff pastry on a sheet of parchment paper. Roll it out gently to a 3‑mm thickness, leaving a 2‑cm border around the edges.

    Time: PT5M

  4. Assemble the galette

    Spread the almond‑peanut filling in the centre of the pastry, staying clear of the border. Lightly brush the border with water, lay the second puff pastry sheet on top, and press the edges to seal.

    Time: PT5M

  5. Decorate and vent

    Using the back of a knife, draw a decorative pattern on the top without cutting through. Then make several small slits (vent holes) to allow steam to escape.

    Time: PT3M

  6. Apply the egg‑yolk glaze

    Beat the remaining egg yolk with a teaspoon of water and brush it over the top of the galette for a glossy finish.

    Time: PT2M

  7. First bake

    Place the galette on the baking sheet and bake at 180°C for 30 minutes.

    Time: PT30M

    Temperature: 180°C

  8. Second bake (lower temperature)

    Reduce the oven temperature to 170°C and continue baking for another 10 minutes to avoid over‑browning.

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: 170°C

  9. Prepare optional sugar syrup

    While the galette bakes, combine 40 g sugar and 40 g water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer until slightly thickened (about 2‑3 minutes).

    Time: PT5M

  10. Cool, glaze and serve

    Remove the galette from the oven and let it rest on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. If using, brush the warm galette with the sugar syrup. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally inserting a fève before baking.

    Time: PT5M
