15 tips and tricks about the thermomix recipe

Choose a good puff pastry : Opt for a quality puff pastry, fresh or frozen, for a crispy base.
Use high-quality ingredients : Select high-quality ingredients, especially for the almond powder, butter, and vanilla, for a delicious frangipane.
Prepare the puff pastry in advance : If possible, prepare the puff pastry the day before to save time on the day of baking.
Cool the frangipane : After preparing the frangipane with a Thermomix, let it cool in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Use a pastry ring : Use a pastry ring or a tart pan to obtain a perfectly round galette.
Leave a border : When spreading the frangipane on the pastry, leave a space of 2 to 3 cm around the edges to seal the galette without overflowing.
Moisten the edges : To seal the galette, lightly moisten the outer edge of the pastry with water using a brush.
Place the charm carefully : Insert the charm or figurine into the frangipane without pushing it all the way in, so that each slice has a chance to find it.
Decorate with care : Use the tip of a knife to create patterns on the surface of the galette and make sure not to pierce the pastry.
Apply an even egg wash : Apply the egg wash (mixture of egg yolk and milk) evenly on the surface of the galette for a uniform golden color after baking.
Make small incisions : Before baking the galette, make a few light incisions on the top to allow steam to escape.
Monitor the baking : The galette should bake at a temperature of 180°C (350°F) for about 30 to 35 minutes. Monitor the baking carefully to avoid burning.
Let it cool before serving : Let the galette cool slightly after baking to allow the frangipane to set.
Serve at room temperature : The galette des rois is delicious served at room temperature, allowing the frangipane to develop its full flavor.
Crown the king or queen : Traditionally, the person who finds the charm in their slice of galette is crowned king or queen and can choose their king or queen of the celebration.
