Mini Cherry Galette des Rois

Galette des Rois – a very yummy January treat!

You’d think that after a month of festive eating, people would feel like taking it easy in January. Nope. Because on the 6th January, Luxembourg celebrates Dräikinneksdag (Epiphany) by tucking into buttery Galettes des Rois.

Each frangipane-studded puff pastry tart comes with a ‘bean’ hidden inside (that is usually a ceramic token). The person who gets the slice with the bean is crowned king or queen for a day.

I have jazzed up the traditional Galette des Rois by making it miniature-sized and adding juicy cherries to the frangipane. As a result, it’s a fruitier version of a beloved classic.
