Despite the current craze for the famous sun tart, I had never published a recipe for this trendy tart before. I am therefore taking advantage of Epiphany to offer you this sun tart like a galette des rois: flavored with almond cream! Post-holiday period obliges, I did not realize the classic frangipane… To tell the truth, I did not really want a mixture of pastry cream + almond cream. So I stuck to a simple almond cream.
The sun tart in a few words ...
To achieve it, nothing could be simpler. The principle is almost always the same: provide you with two puff pastry doughs (homemade or bought in the store, but of quality) and a filling of your choice. The rest is a snap! Then you just have to garnish the first dough and then place the second puff pastry disc. It's up to you to cut the pie into equal parts - I usually do it by 16 - then twist each of them. A little egg gilding and hop in the oven!
I really appreciate this aperitif tart in its salty version (pesto, tapenade, chorizo cream etc.) but the sweet version is not bad either! You are free to adapt it to your taste preferences from aperitif to dessert ...
Here is my recipe:
Sun tart with almond cream, galette des rois style
Ingredients:
- 70 g butter
- 70 g powdered sugar
- 70 g of almond powder
- 1 oeuf
- +
- 2 puff pastry
- 1 Egg yolk
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 180 °.
- Prepare the almond cream: mix the softened butter and the powdered sugar to obtain a creamy appearance. Add the egg then mix. Gradually pour in the almond powder, mix and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out one of the puff pastry, garnish with almond cream and cover with the second disc of dough. Seal the edges by pressing.
- Using an inverted glass, mark the center of the dough. Trace the 16 portions with a knife starting from the edge of the glass. Twist each part twice.
- Using a brush, coat with egg yolk (diluted in a little water).
- Bake 30 minutes.
