Home-made lovers chose to learn how to make their own galette des rois

Passionate about pastry, Françoise and Livia booked this four-hour workshop.

For Livia, homemade is a guarantee of quality, for specific reasons.

I'm sure of what I'm going to eat. I know it will be creamier, well-stocked, well-stocked. And it's a passion so I combine business with pleasure. We are sure of what we are going to eat and that we will be able to have more because we have done it accordingly.

As for Françoise, she considers that making her own pancake is the assurance of delicious taste and personal satisfaction. A passionate person who finds another, significant advantage in homemade food.

The pancake is better when you make it yourself. And I will have the pleasure of tasting something made by me. The pancakes are super expensive now. Apart from the cost of this workshop, a cake made here costs me perhaps 15 or 20 euros maximum.

For Stévy Thomasi, pastry chef in charge of the workshop, there is an absolutely essential ingredient in making these pancakes. An ingredient that is not found in the mouth.

You also need patience, because the puff pastry is made over several days. And it depends on the puff pastry that we are going to use for this pancake. If I want a beautiful pancake, super regular and very visually appealing, I will use inverted puff pastry. This dough takes much longer to make, but the result is different and much more beautiful.

If they are at the service of flavor and delicacy, additions or even small culinary “eccentricities” were welcome in this workshop. And of course, participants were reminded not to forget to include the bean in their creations.

In order to respect tradition, the appointment is therefore made tomorrow, Sunday December 5, for the tasting.
