1/2 cup ground almonds

1 stick butter

3 eggs

1/4 cup of sugar

2 sheets puff pastry

powdered sugar

Grind almonds in food processor

Beat sugar and butter

add TWO eggs and almonds.

You now have Frangipane!

Butter a flat baking sheet

unfold thawed puff pastries and using a pie pan as a template cut into two circles

Lay one circle on buttered sheet and spread Frangipane in the middle

Place a dried fava bean or ceramic figure in the Frangipane

Using the last egg, beat and paint the edges of the dough

Place the other dough circle on top and seal the edges very tight!

Brush top with egg (i forgot to in my picture)

Bake ~ 25-30 min at 375

Dust with powdered sugar

AND you have to put a gold paper crown on top. Whoever finds the fava bean wears the crown and is king for the day!

You can eat it now.

Much better than a New Orleans King Cake whichahs the baby inside and is the prize. A king cake is supposed to be a birouche with an incing and green, gold and purple sugar on top. But he supermarkets ahve gotten in the act and make these wigth some awful dough and sweet icing that would gag a maggot. Today they come with all sorts of fillings, another reason to avoid them at any cost. They are sold from 12th night to Mardi Gras.

Yup! every thing's made in a crummy dorm kitchen with a fickle stove---but i am FINALLY home for the summer---and I have the blessed KITCHEN AID once again!! electric tools really are under appreciated. ^_^

Gotta love french class :) We had bread wine (non-alcoholic) and cheese days in high school french class, as well as numerous food projects (and way too many crepes and omelettes)

It looks beautiful. I want to make it, but I'll wait to splurge and make it - at the beginning of winter term. Jan 6th :)

It looks beautiful!!!

The Greeks have a similar tradition for the Feast of the Epiphany. We bake a sweet bread called Vassilopita (which translates into "king's pie/cake") into which we put a foiled wrapped silver dollar. When it is served, the person who gets the coin is said to have good fortune in the coming year. No crown though. Shucks!!
