Galette des Rois Recipe

Ingredients: Makes one 18 cm / 7 in cake

250 g/9 oz plain (all-purpose) flour
5 ml/1 tsp salt
200 g/7 oz unsalted (sweet) butter, diced
175 ml/6 fl oz water

1 egg
1 egg white

Method:

Place the flour and salt in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add 75 g/ 3 oz of the butter, the water and whole egg and mix to a soft dough. Cover and leave to stand for 30 minutes.


Roll out the dough into a long rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Dot two-thirds of the dough with one-third of the remaining butter. Fold the uncovered pastry up over the butter, then fold the remaining pastry over the top. Seal the edges and chill for 10 minutes. Roll out the dough again and repeat with half the remaining butter. Chill, roll out and add the remaining butter, then chill for a final 10 minutes.


Roll out the dough into a 2.5 cm/1 in thick circle about 18 cm/7 in in diameter. Place on a greased baking (cookie) sheet, brush with egg white and leave to stand for 15 minutes. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4 for 15 minutes until well risen and golden brown.
