1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a Silpat.
2. Unfold pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface or Silpat. If pastry cracks when unfolding, sprinkle the crack with water and press the edges together to seal. If necessary, use a rolling pin to roll the pastry sheet to 9 inches wide.
3. Cut pastry sheets into two 9-inch circles. (Use a round 9-inch cake pan as a guide.) Place one puff pastry round on the parchment lined baking sheet and place a sheet of parchment on top. Place the second pastry round on top of the parchment. Put the baking sheet in the refrigerator while you make the frangipane.
4. Make the frangipane: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the almond flour and beat on medium speed until thoroughly blended, about 1 minute. Add the egg and mix on low speed until blended. Add the all-purpose flour, lemon paste, almond extract, and salt, and beat just until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

1. Lightly grease 2 baking trays with butter. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface to a 45cm x 25cm rectangle. Cut out two discs, one measuring 20cm, the other 25cm in diameter (see Debbie’s tips). Transfer to the trays, then chill for 20 minutes.
2. For the almond paste, cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg and one of the yolks, then stir in the ground almonds, flour and rum.
3. Remove the pastry discs from the fridge. Spoon the almond paste onto the smaller disc and spread out with a palette knife, leaving a 2.5cm border around the edge and mounding it up in the centre.
4. Beat the remaining yolk with 1 tsp cold water, then brush a little around the pastry border. Lay the second disc over the filling and press the edges together to seal, smoothing out any trapped air. Crimp the edges between your thumb and forefinger (see food team’s tip). Use the tip of a sharp knife to make a small hole in the centre for the steam to escape, then chill for 20 minutes.
