This delicate, crisp, and flaky outer crust made of pâte feuilletée (puff pastry) is filled with a rich, creamy almond paste known as fragipane made from ground almonds, butter, sugar and eggs

Mademoiselle places a whole almond, a small trinket called a fève( French for "bean"), hidden inside the filling before baking. The person who finds the fève in their slice is crowned the King or Queen for the day.
