Ingredients

For the Pastry

2 cups all-purpose flour this forms the base of your galette, ensuring a flaky texture.
1 cup unsalted butter adds richness; make sure it's cold for best results.
1 teaspoon salt enhances flavor and balances the sweetness in the filling.
1/4 cup ice water use just enough to bring the dough together without making it sticky.

For the Filling

1 cup almond flour gives a nutty flavor and creamy texture that’s essential in a traditional galette.
1/2 cup granulated sugar sweetens the filling; feel free to adjust based on your preference.
2 large eggs provide structure and moisture, making the filling rich and custardy.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract adds a warm aroma; you can also use almond extract for an extra boost!

For Assembly

1 large egg wash (1 egg + water) gives your galette a beautiful golden sheen when baked.
optional decorations (sliced almonds or powdered sugar) add aesthetic appeal and extra crunch or sweetness to your finished dish.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out your puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about a 12-inch circle.
Prepare the almond cream filling by beating together softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in ground almonds, eggs, and a splash of vanilla.
Spread the almond mixture evenly over one pastry round, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Top with the second pastry round, pressing down gently to seal the edges. Crimp the edges beautifully.
Brush the top with an egg wash made from beaten egg and water.
Score a decorative pattern on top of the galette using a sharp knife.
Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
