Almond Puff Pastries
There’s a local bakery in town that makes the most amazing almond croissant pastries—bear claws—and I can’t get enough of them! This recipe is my simplified take on those dreamy almond croissants, using buttery, flaky puff pastry and a sweet almond filling. They’re easy to make and use all the same flavors as a beloved almond croissant. Provecho amigos!

- Preheat oven to 375F. Roll out the puff pastry and cut into four-inch squares (roughly 6-8 squares per sheet).
- In a bowl, finely crumble the almond paste into small pieces.
- Add butter, 2 tbsp sugar, one egg, almond extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Beat with a hand mixer until smooth. NOTE: The texture should be thick, but spreadable.
- Spoon 1.5-2 tbsp of the almond filling over the puff pastry square. I used a resealable sandwich bag as a piping bag instead of spooning the mixture and left about an inch gap around the border.
- Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl and brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg wash.
- Sprinkle the remaining sugar plus the sliced almonds over the top of the pastries.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool for 15-20 minutes, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Provecho amigos!
