My husband comes from a family of almond growers, so I use almonds often in my baking. These puff pastries have a crisp topping and creamy filling. Barbara Harrison, Monte Sereno, California Ingredients:
1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed |
1 egg, separated |
1 tablespoon water |
1 cup sliced almonds |
1 cup sugar |
2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Unfold pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into nine 3-in. squares. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets; set aside. In a small bowl, beat egg yolk and water; brush over pastry squares. In another bowl, beat egg white; add almonds and sugar. Spread over each square.
2. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until well puffed and browned. Cool completely on wire racks.
3. Split pastries in half horizontally. Fill with whipped cream; replace tops. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately. Yield: 18 servings.
