Galette des Rois

Another holiday another pastry! It's the epiphany or feast of the kings and everywhere you see "galette des Rois". 

Being a European adventure and I haven't made a good post in a while I figured we should try it out. 

The cake comes with its own crown that it apparently must wear. The cake is a flake pastry filled with fruit - in this case chocolate pear. It's kind of a giant turnover.

It was a worthy grocery store test. Next year get a good one at the bakery!
