Description
This cake is prepared in the beginning of January. According to legend the birth of Jesus came the wise men from the East brought him gifts. This event is celebrated in some European countries this type of pie. Depending on the country the recipe is slightly different, I decided to try the French recipe. But all of the recipes share a history and tradition. For the contest "new year tastes of the planet."

Cooking
Prepare all the ingredients.
Prepare frangipan (marzipan - almond mass). We are gonna wipe thoroughly the softened butter with the sugar until the mixture acquires a light yellow color.
Add the eggs and continue whisking. Then add the vanilla extract. Separately mix the almonds with flour and add to the mixture. Like follow mix up. Should get here this cream.
Warm up the oven to 210 degrees. Prepare a round shape with low sides and cover it with baking paper. Roll out one layer of puff pastry (I used ready, to pack two layers of 250 g each). Cut out the circle (on the plate approximately the same size with the form) with a gap on the sides.
Put in the form.
Spread frangipan. Here, according to tradition, the stuffing is placed in the raw bean, and whoever gets it will be happy and successful in the coming year. I Bob didn't put as baked this pie is not assigned traditionally the time :)
Lay the second rolled out crust on top (cut with no gaps to the sides), secure the ends and fold in the rim. Coat with the beaten egg yolk and make a mesh with a knife (don't overdo it, the dough should not be penetrated, but only to make the figure).
Bake for about 20-25 minutes. The batter should lightly fried that it was crunchy on top. Here he is in the cut.
