With Epiphany fast approaching, you have decided this year that it is time to make your homemade king cake. A hell of a challenge! But are you sure you are truly ready? Necessary utensils and essential little details, discover everything you need for the pancake!
RECIPES
The beans
Who says king cake, necessarily says bean. As tradition dictates, a child will hide under the table to distribute the shares.
Here is our selection of beans from the most classic to the most original to please everyone:
The crown
Of course, once the cake has been tasted and the bean found, the king or queen must put on their new crown. Once again, the advantage of choosing your accessories is that it is possible to be original!
A rolling pin
For a beautiful, homogeneous puff pastry, here is the essential utensil: the rolling pin. The Fackelmann model, rated 4.5/5 on more than 4,300 reviews on Amazon.
A paintbrush
Finally, for a pancake as golden as the crowns of the king and queen, you will need to use a brush, which allows you to spread the egg yolk on the surface of the pancake, before putting it in the oven.
Our choice fell on an accessory from the Tefal brand, which, in addition to being practical because it is foldable, is popular with users because it is rated 4.6/5 on more than 21,500 Amazon reviews.
The pie mold
Before baking, also make sure you have chosen a quality pie dish or springform pan to cook your pancake.
Here are two models, a glass tart pan (with lid!) and a Tefal aluminum springform pan, among the best-selling and most appreciated by Internet users.
You are now fully equipped to celebrate Epiphany! All you have to do is try a traditional galette des rois recipe, or try the brioche crown, just as delicious!
