Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated sugar, softened butter, egg, and almond extract. Mix well until a smooth almond paste forms.
-
Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle. Cut the pastry into small squares or rectangles, depending on your desired pastry size.
-
Place a spoonful of the almond paste in the center of each pastry square. Fold the corners of the pastry over the almond paste, forming a neat envelope shape. Press the edges to seal the pastry.
-
Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a beaten egg for a golden finish.
-
Sprinkle sliced almonds over the pastries for added crunch and visual appeal.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
-
Once baked, remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
-
Dust the pastries with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
