Pithivier

Pithivier is a dessert said to resemble the sun. It is made with two round pieces of puff pastry dough, jam, and frangipane-pastry cream mixture. We egg washed the edges of one puff pastry circle and filled the center with raspberry jam. We then piled up the frangipane-pastry cream mixture on top. We placed the second circle of puff pastry on top and enclosed everything. We let it chill before scalloping the edges. Lastly we scored the top layer in a spiral pattern. I noticed I cut it too deep so when it was baking the top layer collapsed.
