Course: Dessert
Cuisine: French
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 rolls of store-bought puff pastry or 500 g of homemade dough
  • 90 g powdered pistachios
  • 90 g almond powder
  • 2 eggs + 1 egg for gilding
  • 80 g fine sugar
  • 100 g soft butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon orange blossom
  • 1 dry bean

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  • Place the puff pastry on a flat baking sheet, prick the dough with a fork.
  • In a salad bowl, mix the almond and pistachio powder, the sugar, the 2 eggs + the white of the 3rd (keep the yolk to brown it) and the soft butter.
  • Place the frangipane obtained on the pie crust, leaving an edge of about 2 centimeters. Arrange 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 2nd puff pastry, and stick the edges well. You can form patterns by gluing the edges, like the photo below.
  • Brush with the egg yolk diluted in a little milk or cream and draw patterns on the top.
    Make a small hole in the dough at the top center.
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, checking the cooking regularly.
