This week's Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Pithiviers. This involves filling two rounds of puff pastry with a rough home-made prune jam and almond cream, cutting shapes in the pastry to make it look fancy, and baking it until golden.
I had a lot of fun cutting pointy triangles around the edge of my pithiviers, and I think it looks super-impressive (although was easy to do):

Ooh I'm a big pithivier fan but have only had savoury ones-this sounds delicious! :D
Yours is so pretty! (and I'm intrigued to hear there are savoury versions of this per Lorraine's comment above!)
so pretty - this sounds really posh and fascinating - prune jam and almond cream!!!!!
I've never had pithiviers or even seen them but I love the name and the sound of the dish! Very pretty pastry too.
Yours does look impressive. I really liked this one.
Oh that looks lovely! I thought the prune jam-frangipane combo was delicious too.
It is impressive and even more so because it has such delicate triangles for the border but didn't leak! Very pretty!
Your pithiviers looks very pretty!
