This week, #FrenchConnections explores an important tradition that rolls around once a year in January: one that has survived the Middle Ages, the French Revolution and two World Wars. We're talking about a cake fit for kings. Where does #France's "galette des rois" come from? And what's the deal with the bean inside? We take a closer look.

I think it should just be called "galette des rois", not "king cake". If anglophones can pronounce "rendez-vous", they can surely pronounce "galette des rois."

Merci. Je cherchais justement un texte à envoyer à la famille nord-américaine de mon mari afin d’expliquer notre belle tradition de la galette des Rois. C’est fait. Je vous remercie, ils vont comprendre.

Le jaune d'œuf est utilisé pour dorer la galette des rois. Elle badigeonne la galette avec le jaune d'œuf à l'aide d'un pinceau avant de la faire cuire. Ce sont les deux œufs entier qui se retrouvent dans le mélange, avec la poudre d'amende, le sucre et le beurre.

They are broadcasters, not pastry chefs. They are just demonstrating the basic how-to.
