directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Using a stand mixer with paddle or a hand held mixer, beak up almond paste thoroughly. Blend in 2 egg yolks, sugar and extract. Set aside.
  • Unroll puff pastry and cut each sheet into triangles. I buy the pre-rolled sheets to make life easier. I find it makes it more consistent. If you have to roll it out, it should be about a 12x16 inch rectangle.
  • Put a spoonful of filling along the wide end of the triangle and roll into croissant shape. Continue to shape rest of pastries. I wet my finger with water to secure the top of the triangle at the end of rolling.
  • Mix remaining egg yolk with 1 tbsp of water and lightly brush each pastry with the egg wash. Sprinkle on sliced almonds ensuring they stick. Bake 14-16 minutes until golden brown. WATCH CAREFULLY.
  • Remove from oven and place each pastry on a cooling rack. Sifts icing sugar on warm pastries and enjoy!
