Ingredients

Puff pastry dough (2 sheets) 500 g

Butter (softened) 125 g

Granulated sugar 125 g

Eggs (whole) 2

Almond flour 125 g

Rum or cherry liqueur (for flavor) to taste

Instructions

Make the almond cream filling

Cream the softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs and mix until smooth. Add the almond flour, flour, and rum, and mix until combined.

Prepare the puff pastry

Roll out both sheets of puff pastry.

Assemble

Spread the filling over one sheet of puff pastry, leaving a border around the edges. Place a small porcelain figurine (fève) inside. Cover with the second sheet of puff pastry and press the edges firmly to seal.

Decorate and bake

Brush with egg yolk (avoid letting it drip onto the cut edges). Score a decorative pattern with the back of a knife. Preheat the oven to 225°C (450°F / thermostat 7/8). Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden.
