Ingredients:
For the dough:
Puff pastry
1 Egg
For the filling:
2/3 cup (150g) Butter, softened
1¼ + 2 tablespoons (150g) Ground almonds
3 Eggs
3/4 cup (150g) Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Orange zest from one orange
Lucky charm/bean/almond
For the syrup:
1/4 cup (60ml) Water
1/4 cup (50g) sugar
Directions:
1. On a floured surface roll the puff pastry and cut 2-23cm (9-inch) circles. Keep in the fridge while making the filling.
2. Make the filling: in a large bowl mix softened butter and sugar. Then, add 3 eggs, one at the time and mix until incorporated. Add ground almonds and mix until combined. Add vanilla extract, orange zest and mix until combined. Transfer the filling into a piping bag.
3. Take the pastry out of the fridge and brush the edges with egg/water. Pipe the filling on the pastry, leaving about 1-inch of space. Place the second pastry on top and seal the edges.
4. Brush the pie with beaten egg and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
5. Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
6. Take the pie out of the fridge and brush with a beaten egg again. Using the back of the knife, decorate the pie as desired.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown.
8. Make simple syrup (optional): in a small saucepan combine sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
9. Take the cake out of the oven, brush with syrup and allow to cool.

Great for celebrating the Feast of the Epiphany, or Twelfth Night (the twelfth day of Christmas). Don't forget the charms that go in the cake- the person who gets the coin will have good fortune, the one who gets the ring will marry in the coming year, etc...
