There is a tradition at least in France, Quebec and Belgium right after Christmas. Eating a cake by the time of the epiphany : "La galette des rois". In the north of France and Belgium, it's basically two puff pastries with an almond paste inside. It's a delicious sweet thing. But that's not what makes it special.It's the fact that a little figurine (most often in porcelain) is hiding inside. And whoever gets it becomes the kind or queen of the day. Traditions may vary from family to family on that but I'll focus on mine and will give you a recipe I did this year that you might like (even outside of Epiphany days!):In order to find out who is going to be king or queen, the youngest child hides under the table and says the names of the guests around every time a piece is served. When the person eating it finds out, he or she becomes queen or king and gets to choose whoever is the queen or king with them.In many families, the king or queen can demand things their ways the rest of the day. We have done it a couple of times when the kids were younger but now we just have family and friends gathering. And the kids are already happy if they just have the figurine in their piece!When you buy it in bakeries, they give you those crowns with the galette you buy. But when you make it yourself you have to make your crown so Lily did it this year:And of course the best is to have guests to share it with!So now on to the proper recipe:
