I just made this again. We bought some beautiful fresh raspberries and placed them on top of the Frangipane/pastry creme, and before placing the top pastry sheet on top, I lightly sprinkled the berries with white sugar. Oh, my goodness. The richness of the Frangipane and tartness of the berries. Thank you, Stephen!
Congratulations my friend. I have been browsing too many channels on French cooking, some of them even in French. You're the most down to earth, traditional (which is what I wanted), and gives me loads of confidence in trying out your great national heritage. France should thank you for promoting your beautiful country!
Brilliant teacher! Technique far rises above the ingredients themself, Alford the best quality you can buy… but technique is the Art of our et fare. He is a true teacher… he is an Alchemist!
Not only are this chef's explanations easy to understand, and his recipes marvellous, I could listen to him all day, especially when he does that exquisite French expression, 'ahn'! 'always very gentle, ahn?'
I love Fragipane. I put it in my Stollen Christmas bread. I also soak prunes in rum and then make prune tarts with Frangipane. They are amazing. Also mincemeat and Frangipane. Thank you so much for showing these steps. Congratulations on your subscribership award.
Adding almond extract really heightens even more, love this with a cup of good black coffee the only other better combo would be a good crusty french bread with french butter and brie paired with a nice glass of red
Thank you for this instruction video. At one time I spread the cream too close to the edge. I saved it by spreading it right to and then roll up the pastry. Cut 1-cm (0.033 foot) thick slices and baked them laying flat. Beautiful spirals came out. The overall flakiness and the bit caramelization of the frangipane was devine.
I appreciate the detail and precision you went into with this recipe. It shows the difference between an OK result and a fabulous professional result. French professional bakers are amazing. I can never figure out how they make the end result look so spectacular.
Since I subscribed to your channel there has not been a notification where I didn't watch and think I need to go home and make that. Thanks for sharing your recipes with us and congratulations on the award!
I love his down to earth approach. I’ve made this and agree with some others who have suggested the addition of almond emotion or extract. Almond buttercream is my favorite filling for just about anything but when you add a layer of raspberry jam (as I did for my wedding cake 30 yrs. ago) it brings the almond filling to an entire new level. Ummm!
Hi. I cooked as explained. It was delicious. My dad worked in Germany 25 years. The marzipan cake (how they called in Germany) is his favourite cake. He told that " this is far better ones that i had eaten for 25 years in Germany." This very good the receipt and you explained and show clearly. Dad and i thanked to you folks. 👌🧿
My grandmother always bought a Pithivier for Christmas from Paris Pastry in Los Angeles and this recalls fond memories. Your cake seems quite similar but sadly, I’m not a huge fan of almonds. I think I’ll make this with hazelnut meal and see how it turns out. Thank you for sharing your delight in cooking… I look forward to making a giant ravioli soon, too.
Hi Stephane, I am just about to make my 5th Galette des Rois for this year, (they all want one!), using a recipe from the Michel Roux snr book, the Essence of French Cooking. It is my treasured copy signed by the Master himself. So so sad that he is no longer with us! His recipe for the Frangipane is super easy, and since Michel was a MOF chef, I decided to try this recipe rather than the Escoff version. If you are at all interested: Makes 500g. 125g Icing sugar, sifted, 125g ground Almonds, sifted, 125g soft butter, 25g plain flour, sifted, 2 large eggs, 25ml of rum or Almond extract. Method: In a bowl beat the soft butter until light, creamy and white. Sift together the Icing sugar and ground almonds, add this to the beaten butter, incorporate thoroughly and then incorporate the sifted flour. Beat the two eggs and add them, little by little into your mixture. You now have a very light smooth cream. Add your rum or almond extract. You can make this ahead of time and keep covered with cling film in the fridge. You just bring it back to room temp and beat it again before using. I make all my own pastry, so I generally make my puff pastry, or Rough Puff Pastry the day before, roll out the top and bottom discs ready to build the galette and decorate the top. Happy Days! Where are you are Aussie land?
Great thanks I have testing similar recipes during the holidays for some desserts. but still find the puff pastry really time consuming to make its great o hear you do everything yourself.😀Im aa base in victoria
Love the detail and information in these videos and that looks truly fabulous. In my head I can see cherry jam underneath the frangipane - not the traditional French but I think it would be lovely
I made this the way you suggested and it came out good. I also made it a second time combining ALL the ingredients in one sauce pan, heating and bringing to paste, then put on puff pastry, and it came out pretty good. much faster.
It's like I have been watching this video from morning till night. WOW!! So much labor and felt like I was able to eat it only for breakfast. OMG!! Will I want to make this cake? I would rather just buy one.
Hello! I've watched a few of your videos dealing with pastry cream and I have a tip I picked up from Lucas Sin making his steamed eggs. At the step where you whisk the hot milk into the eggs, you can pass the milk through a mesh sieve and it will catch most of not all of the foam (as well as any ropey pericarp if it's the whole egg). I've used this to great effect for very smooth and glassy creme brulees.
Thank you so much for all your great recipes. I make your dishes 3 time's a week and I always have something awsome cooking, thanks to you. God bless you and stay safe
I've tried making frangipane several times but never had the same strong almond taste that the galettes des rois I buy at the boulangerie have. Later I tried switching the vanilla extract for bitter almond extract and it was the exact taste from the boulangerie that I was seeking !
Oroborus do you grind your own almonds? I’m sure that would ensure the strongest flavor. Also in America almonds are destroyed through pasteurization. The food controllers know nothing about food prep, only profits!
@@Yoganature101 That almond flavor from almond extract isn’t from regular almonds, it’s from bitter almonds, which contain cyanogens that activate when wet. That wonderful aroma is actually cyanide, which is why bitter almonds aren’t allowed to be sold in the US. (Sixteen bitter almonds could kill an adult man but I’d challenge anyone to eat even one!)
Where can I get the written recipe? I would like to know the ratio of pastry cream and almond cream in the final frangipane. The original link below the video got redirected and couldn’t find the recipe. Much appreciated if it can be shared.
I love Bakewell Tart which uses frangipane and later of rraspberry jam on the base of the pastry.. The frangipane developes a thn crust, below the surface when cooled it is soft and resembles a cake.
100% legit! In the US, plain almonds don’t have that “almond flavor” that we are used to, because that comes from bitter almonds. Bitter almonds are the original wild almonds, and they are inedible; actually they are toxic and 16 raw ones can kill a grown man. They cannot legally be sold in the US. In some places they have not been so completely separated genetically, so you still get a hint of that lovely cyanide aroma. :-) In other places, you can actually buy bitter almonds to use instead of almond extract. (A few in a dish won’t hurt you, and the cyanide itself cooks out.) Mahlab is a similar spice, which is the kernel of a kind of wild cherry seeds. It’s perfectly legal here, probably because nobody is tempted to eat it raw, but it’s actually just as toxic.
Thanks to your Channel you’ve inspired my passion for cooking, my love of France & introduced me to Escoffiers “Ma Cuisine”. I can’t thank you enough. Merci mon ami
French Cooking Academy I’m looking forward to your future videos from France on regional food, cheese & wine. & hopefully a nose around a good charcuterie. Congratulations on your well deserved award for your inspiring channel.

My wife is half French. It's funny how she uses all these small French things like: "Hm..?", "Boum", "Et...voila" "Et... paf" when she is explaining something about cooking. After more than thirty years of marriage I realize I use them all even I am 100% Pole. Damn, maybe now I am 98% Pole ;) Never mind - Vive La France! BTW - In Poland Pâte Feuilletée is called "Ciasto Francuskie" it means French Pastry
I am going to make this today! A little sin during my diet. ;) I have just read that 'Bûche de noël' is a traditional French dish for Christmas? A video would be exciting!

Congratulations on your award!!! I have a question about the recipe... if I was to make smaller single serve Frangipanes, say...8 of them with same amount of this recipe, what would be the cooking time, at least the starting time, I could just watch them after the initial 428F? Again Congratulations and have a very lovely day!!! AMB...Rose
