Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Make the frangipane filling by beating 75 g of softened unsalted butter with 75 g of castor sugar until creamy and fluffy.

Sift in 2 heaped teaspoons of matcha powder and add a pinch of salt, then mix.

Crack in 1 egg and add a couple of drops of almond extract, then stir to combine.

Incorporate 100 g of ground almonds into the mixture.

Optionally, add 2 tablespoons of sake and mix well.

Scoop the mixture into a piping bag without a tip.

Prepare the glaze by whisking 1 egg yolk with a splash of milk.

Roll out 500 g of all butter puff pastry on a floured surface to cut out two 8-inch discs.

Dust the surface with flour to prevent sticking while rolling out the pastry.

Cut out two discs using a baking pan as a guide and set aside the excess pastry.

Brush the edges of one pastry disc with water, about 1.5 inches (3 cm) from the edge.

Pipe the frangipane filling in a spiral from the center of the disc, avoiding the water boundary.

Place a whole pecan half in the filling as a fève.

Cover with the second pastry disc and press the edges to seal.

Make a few slits on top of the galette to allow steam to escape during baking.

Brush the top with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
