Assembly

Place 3 discs of puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat.
Using a brush and water, brush the edges of the 3 pastry discs so that when you assemble them, the two discs will stick together.
Turn out the frozen frangipani.
Place each frangipane in the center of the three puff pastry discs.
Place a second disc of dough on each insert and close the galette.
Place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Using a 20cm diameter circle, cut off the excess pastry to make a straight edge.
Refrigerate for 24 hours.
Turn the galettes over.
Bake in a fan-assisted oven at 180°C until golden, using another silicone mat and a wire rack to lay the galettes flat.
Using a brush, add 30° syrup at the end of cooking and bake for a further 2-3 minutes to obtain a shiny finish.
Decorate with a few zests of candied Mandarin and icing sugar using a stencil.
