- Preparation: 25 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (118 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten, nut
Ingredients
- 45 g Puff pastry
- 20 g Almond flour
- 15 g Butter, unsalted
- 15 g Sugar
- 20 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 2.5 g Spirits
- 0.5 g Vanilla extract
Method
- Makes 1 slice, an eighth of a 22 cm pithivier; multiply everything by 8 for the whole pie.
- Beat the softened butter with the sugar until creamy, then beat in most of the egg (keep a little for glazing), followed by the almond flour, vanilla and rum, to make a smooth frangipane.
- Cut two discs from the puff pastry, one slightly larger than the other.
- Spoon the frangipane onto the smaller disc, leaving a clear border, then brush the border with water and lay the larger disc on top, pressing the edges to seal well.
- Scallop the edge with the back of a knife and score a shallow spiral pattern across the top without cutting through, then brush with the egg kept for glazing.
- Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 35-40 minutes until deeply golden and well risen.
- Cool for 10 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
