This is a traditional French recipe for a galette which is eaten normally on the 6th January for the Epiphany. A "fève" is hidden in the cake and the person who finds it in their slice is king or queen for the day. We have made a smaller one here but there is plenty of pastry and frangipane to make a slightly bigger one.
