Instructions

1
Make frangipane: beat butter and sugar until light, 3 minutes. Beat in 1 egg, rum, almond and vanilla extracts. Fold in almond flour until smooth.
2
Roll both pastry sheets to 11-inch circles. Place one on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread the frangipane in a thick, even circle in the center, leaving a 1-inch border. Press the dried bean into the frangipane.
3
Brush the border with water. Lay the second pastry circle on top and press the edges firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the border or pinch in a decorative rope pattern. Score the top in a decorative pattern (rosette or spiral) with a knife without cutting through. Beat remaining egg and brush the top.
4
Refrigerate 30 minutes. Bake at 400°F for 30–35 minutes until puffed and deep golden brown. Cool 15 minutes before serving. Whoever finds the bean in their slice is crowned king or queen.
