Almond Crown

Almond Crown
The crown almond Pithivers, a classic French snack, is said to be a pastry that began to circulate 500 years ago in a French city called Pithivers and is characterized by a radiant pattern of flowers. In Europe, this one is filled with almond butter baked dessert, usually called crown almond pie. As New Year's dessert on January 6th, the pie needs to be wrapped in beans representing Jesus, and now usually placed in a porcelain doll known as “feves” (which can be a religious figure, even in a variety of shapes, such as animals, cars, etc.), which can be called the King's. Those who eat this porcelain are the king or queen of the day who wears a golden crown and is responsible for preparing the king's pie for the second year. Moreover, eating a porcelain means having good luck this year, just as China eats a coin in its 30s. The picture of the crown apricot is different and represents different meanings: sunflower patterns, symbolizing the sun and life; palm leaves for victory and glory; and four leaves for happiness。

  • Almond Crown Make Tips

    1. Although making puff pastry might lead to failure for beginners, it is the foundation of pastry making and something no baking enthusiast should skip. The principle of puff pastry lies in enclosing fat within the dough and folding it repeatedly (commonly known as "folding a quilt"), creating hundreds of layers of dough-butter-dough. During baking, the moisture in the dough vaporizes under high heat, and the dough expands under the impact of steam, forming distinct, fragrant, and crispy layers. Therefore, the main challenge in making puff pastry at home is the folding process. 2. It is not recommended to use margarine to make puff pastry. Although margarine does not melt as easily as butter and makes the process much simpler, the resulting puff pastry cannot compare to that made with butter in terms of texture or health. In commercial mass production, butter is rarely used because it is hard to control, difficult to work with, and expensive. However, for home baking, the priority should be the joy of DIY and healthy eating. 3. Resting involves letting the dough stand to relax, allowing it to stretch so it can be rolled out easily without shrinking. It is not necessary to rest after every single fold; this should be determined by the condition of the dough. If the dough is easy to roll out, you can fold twice consecutively before resting. However, if the dough is difficult to roll out or the butter has softened and started to leak, it needs to be refrigerated to rest immediately. 4. Once the puff pastry is made, you can sprinkle a layer of dry flour on the surface (to prevent sticking after rolling). It can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week. When using, let it sit at room temperature for a while until the pastry softens. If longer storage is needed, it can be frozen for a month or even longer; simply thaw at room temperature before use.
