Hearth

The Best Galette des Rois in London for Epiphany Cake Celebrations | Eater London

"For the Epihany, Hackney Wick micro-bakery Hearth has created a dazzlingly inventive Galette des Rois. It’s filled with a “brangipane,” comprised of three kings of nuts — Spanish almonds, French walnuts and Italian hazelnuts from Food and Forest, a nut supplier that also funds agroforestry — along with bran and leftover sourdough breadcrumbs from the bakery. It’s surrounded by a friable, deep-fired pastry crust, that possesses the malted notes and lactic tang of wholegrain flour and cultured butter, creating a savoury and sublime number that gets a lift of sweetness from a slick of summer’s greengage jam spread on the bottom layer, and a glossy apricot glaze on top. Diners can try it in the bakery with a hefty dollop of Ivy House double cream, or take it away and adorn as they please." - Emma Louise Pudge
