Total Time:45 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: French
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 500 g puff pastry
  • 200 g hazelnut powder
  • 3 eggs
  • 160 g sugar
  • 110 g butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon bergamot jam

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  • Place a puff pastry on a flat baking sheet and prick it with a fork.
  • In a salad bowl, mix the hazelnut powder, the sugar, the 2 eggs + the white of the 3rd (keep the yolk for the gilding) and the soft butter. Finally add the lemon jam and mix.
  • Place the resulting frangipane on the pastry, leaving a border of about 2 centimeters. Place the bean on the frangipane.
  • Moisten the edge of the puff pastry with a little water (using a kitchen brush or your fingers), cover with the second puff pastry, and stick the edges together. You can form patterns by gluing the edges together, like in the photo below.
  • Make patterns on top and brush with egg yolk diluted with a little water. Make a small hole in the dough in the center of the top.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
