The king cake is a traditional dessert enjoyed in January. This version suggests making individual cakes, which are easier to serve and enjoy. The recipe is simple and accessible, even for amateur cooks. It uses classic ingredients like puff pastry, almonds, and rum. The preparation requires a bit of attention to form these little golden crispy wonders, but the result is delicious.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, pour in the 2 whole eggs, the sugars, and the softened butter. Work everything into a smooth paste. Add the rum and the almond flour. Mix well.
Using a cookie cutter, cut the dough to your desired size and place 2 discs on parchment paper. Spread the almond mixture on top, leaving a 1 cm border. Place the bean in the center. Brush the empty edge with the beaten egg yolk. Cover with 2 more discs of dough. Press the edges to seal and crimp them diagonally with the tip of a knife.
To finish, score diamonds on the top of the pastry. Brush the pastry with the remaining beaten egg yolk and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
