What we love about this galette is that it's well thought-out for frangipane fans. The puff pastry is thin, with just the right amount of crunch, while a thick layer of cream awaits us inside. Gluttony is not a bad thing, and this frangipane won't get the better of you: on the whole, it's not very sweet, and notes of rum accentuate the regressive flavors of the almond.

The balance is respected, and the galette can be savored with appetite without being heavy, while respecting the sins of Epiphany. And for extra indulgence, remember to heat it very slightly before tasting to bring out all its flavours!
