Galette des Rois

In France, people celebrate Epiphany, or Twelfth Night, in early January by tucking into these tasty pastries. Translated as ‘Kings’ Cake’, Galette des Rois is similar to a Pithivier and is baked to celebrate the day the three kings (wise men) arrived to visit baby Jesus. In France these are traditionally baked with a porcelain bean hidden inside and whoever gets the slice with the bean is ‘king for the day’. French pâtisseries always sell this galette wit
