A French Tradition

Now that we are back home at Domaine des Faures we have been able to enjoy participating in the French tradition of a “galette-des-rois”. The galette des rois is a cake traditionally shared at Epiphany, on 6 January. It celebrates the arrival of the Three Wise Men in Bethlehem. Composed of a puff pastry cake, with a small charm, the fève, hidden inside, it is usually filled with frangipane, a cream made from sweet almonds, butter, eggs and sugar. Whoever finds the fève is then king for the day and gets to wear the crown.
