Preparing the matcha tea cake
To ensure the dough is nice and creamy, work it with a fork.

In the meantime, don't forget to start your oven at 350F.
Place the first sheet of puff pastry on your baking tray. Brush the edges with the egg-milk mixture.
Next, spread the almond cream and place a bean on top, pressing it in slightly.
Next, place the second disc on top and smooth it down to remove any air bubbles.
Make a shallow cut in the middle so the galette doesn't puff up too much. Make small cuts around the edge for decoration.
Decorate the top of your galette however you like, be original!
Brush the surface with the egg yolk/milk mixture and chill for 30 minutes.
Finally, bake in the oven for about 25 minutes; your matcha tea galette des rois should be nicely golden brown!
