Ingredients

Servings

• 2 gluten-free puff pastry, ready to use

• 150 g of almond powder

• 150g powdered sugar

• 100 g soft butter (or margarine for a lactose-free version)

• 3 eggs (we will keep one yolk for gilding)

• 1 tsp bitter almond extract (optional)

• 2 pears , peeled and cut into small strips

• 100 g dark chocolate, chopped or in chips

• 1 bean (for tradition!)

• 1 tsp of milk (to mix with the egg yolk, for gilding)

Preparation

1. 1- Prepare the pears

   • Peel the pears, core and cut them into quarters, then into strips
   • Brown them for ten minutes in the pan, in a knob of butter and sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar.
   

1. 2- Prepare the frangipane

   • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F
   • In a bowl or in a food processor, combine the soft butter and sugar until the mixture is creamy.
   • Add the eggs (2 eggs and one white) one by one, mixing well.
   • Incorporate the almond powder and bitter almond extract to obtain a homogeneous cream.
   •  
   

1. 3- Assemble the cake

   • Place a circle of dough on a rack covered with baking paper.
   • Spread the frangipane in the center, leaving a 2 cm border. Insert the bean into the frangipane.
   • Spread the pear slices on the frangipane
   • Sprinkle with grated chocolate or chips.
   • Cover with the second circle of dough and seal the edges by pressing them lightly. Press the edges with a fork.
   • Draw patterns on the top with the tip of a knife without piercing the dough, make a chimney (small hole) in the center of the dough so that the steam escapes and brush with egg yolk mixed with a teaspoon of milk for a nice browning.
   

1. 4- Cooking

   • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes , until the pancake is golden brown.
   • Let cool before serving.
