法國在12月一月聖誕節新年期間 常會見到一種大圓餅叫Galette這種餅的大小 有點像台灣傳統的那種喜餅
就是大約比手掌略大的圓形
上下都是蘇皮
裡頭包的可能是蘋果派 或是杏仁等等
餡裡頭 會包著一個小玩偶
如果大家分著吃 吃到的人就表示今年會有好運喔
跟中國北方家庭吃餃子裡頭包小元寶或是小錢幣的意義大概差不多
會知道這種餅 是因為我房東
今天早上去他家顧小孩 中午就去法國有名的Picard冷凍超市
買了蝸牛和法國麵包回來 我還煮了玉米濃湯
等我房東回來一起吃
談話間 他就告訴我有這種餅 叫我有空去買來吃吃
今天晚餐前 去大賣場買了一個 果然就讓我吃到裡頭的
小小納尼亞女巫喔
哈 希望今年順順利利的 各位看板的朋友們也是喔 :)
附上GOOGLE賞的食譜
Galette Des Rois Recipe
French Dessert
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup water
Dorure;
1 whole egg or 1 yolk
1 Tbsp. water
Directions:
Sift 2 cups flour and 1/4 tsp. salt into a bowl or in a mound
on a board,make a well in the center and put into it 3/4 cup
butter and 3/4 cup water.
Mix the ingredients together with the finger tips,
handling the mixture as lightly as possible.
Form the dough into a ball and chill it for 1 hour.
Roll the dough as you would puff paste, making 4 turns in all and
chilling it after the second turn.
Roll the paste into a round or oblong shape about 1/2 inch thick,
lay it on a buttered baking sheet, brush the top with dorure
( 1 whole egg or 1 yolk mixed lightly with 1 Tbsp. water) and
prick it well with a fork ,or trace with a sharp knife,
a design of your choice.Let the Galette stand 10 minutes and
before baking, push a bean or almond or small metal doll into
the dough (during baking the hole closes over concealing the
bean etc.)Bake in a preheated hot oven400*-to450*F. for 20 to
25 minutes, or until brown.
This cake is traditionally served on Twelfth Night. Whoever
finds the "lucky bean" symbolizing the Baby Jesus, becomes King
or Queen of the evening.
This pastry is sometimes rolled into 2 rounds and sandwiched
together with frangipane cream before baking,
but thats another story.
