Frangipane

Time: 50 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients (6 servings):

  • 2 puff pastries

  • 200g of almond powder

  • 110g of granulated white sugar

  • 100g of soft butter

  • 1 tablespoon of almond extract (optional)

  • 3 egg

  • 1 egg yolk

Utensils:

  • A chopping board

  • A knife

  • A frying pan

If you want to make your frangipane very shiny, make a glaze with 3 tablespoons of water and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Boil the mix and when your frangipane is out of the oven, glaze it with the mix. Another tip: You can add 1 tablespoon of crème fraiche or double cream to the almond mix to make it smoother.

Step-by-step recipe:

  1. Make 1 circle with each puff pastry. (2 puff pastries so 2 circles.)

  2. In a mixing bowl, mix the almond powder and the sugar. Stir.

  3. Make a hole in the mix and crack the eggs. Add the soft butter, the almond extract and mix very well. (Tip: You need to get a smooth texture.)

  4. Line a baking tray and put your puff pastry on it. Add the almond mix in the middle of your pastry and spread it. Make sure you leave 1 cm space on the edges.

  5. Cover with your other pastry and seal. Don’t forget to make a little hole in the middle of your frangipane before putting it in the oven.

  6. With a knife make some lines on the top of your pastry.

  7. In a bowl, crack the last egg and separate the yolk and the white. With a pastry brush, spread the egg yolk all around your frangipane. It will give a nice colour when cooking.

  8. Put it in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes depending on the size of your frangipane
