Frangipane

Frangipane is a sweet almond-flavoured cream typical in French patisserie. Frangipane is used in a variety of ways, including cakes and such pastries as the Bakewell tart, conversation tart, Jésuite, and galette des rois. The first written record was in a French cookbook from 1674, where it was spelt franchipane, and was described as a custard tart flavoured with pounded almonds and pistachios. However, food historian Claudine Brecourt-Villars, writing in 1996, says, in her view, frangipane meant cream. Alan Davidson, in his book The Oxford Companion to Food, called Frangipane an almond based mixture.
