France: Galette des Rois for Epiphany
For the month of January, French bakeries offer a special cake to celebrate the Epiphany — which marks when the three kings arrived bearing gifts for baby Jesus. This buttery, flaky, frangipane-filled cake is called la Galette des Rois (or King’s Cake). Whoever finds the hidden bean prize inside (once a broad bean, now plastic or porcelain figurines) is crowned king or queen for the day. Make it yourself, after the jump.
