    The galette is of course the cake in the spotlight during Epiphany (January 6) in several French-speaking countries and territories and Martinique is no exception to the rule. If of course we traditionally find the frangipane pancake in shopping centers and in the pastry shops of the island, more and more, the inhabitants wanted to find in their galette the fruits of the island. This is how little by little, it became possible to have pancakes prepared with local fruits in pastry. Here is the recipe for the delicious galette des rois stuffed with coconut and pineapple that we offer.

Ingredients

For 8 servings:

  • 2 puff pastry
  • 1 can of pineapple, diced
  • 2 tablespoons of old rum
  • 2 eggs (1 egg + one egg yolk)
  • 25 cl of milk
  • 50 gr of powdered sugar
  • 30 gr of flour
  • 20 gr of butter
  • 1 sachet of vanilla sugar
  • 50 gr of grated coconut
  • 1 bean
Preparation
  1. Drain the pineapple slices (dice them if the pineapple has not been diced first). Keep the pineapple juice.
  2. Heat the milk without letting it boil.
  3. In a bowl, work the egg with a mixer and the powdered sugar until the mixture whitens.
  4. Incorporate the flour and dilute with the hot milk.
  5. Pour the cream back into the saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened, stirring with a hand whisk.
  6. Off the heat, stir in the butter to prevent a crust from forming. Let cool then incorporate the pineapple pieces, their juice and the coconut powder.
  7. Preheat the oven to 210°C.
  8. Make two circles with the puff pastry, one slightly larger than the other.
  9. On an oven tray, place the small circle and add the mixture with the pineapple, leaving a margin for the perimeter.
  10. Randomly add the bean.
  11. Cover with the second circle of dough.
  12. Take the egg yolk and brush it over the top side using a brush.
  13. Put in the oven and cook at thermostat 6 (180°C) for about 25 minutes.
  14. Once golden brown, remove your pancakes and let cool out of the oven.
  15. Serve at room temperature.
