Gaby's Bakery - Mini Almond Pastry Puffs

Almond pastry puffs

Almond Pastry Puffs are wonderful because they combine a few irresistible qualities in one small, elegant bite. Lighter and cleaner than an almond croissant, the delicate, flaky layers feel airy and crisp, while the almond filling brings richness and softness.

Almond has a naturally warm, comforting, slightly sweet, almost marzipan-like aroma. When baked, it becomes deeper and richer, giving the pastry a fragrance that feels both cosy and luxurious.

A great almond puff has a crisp golden edge, tender flaky layers and a soft, creamy almond filling. It's perfect with tea or coffee, and as a small treat for guests. 

Mini Almond Pastry Puffs

Ingredients:
360g roll puff pastry
100g blanched almonds
75g icing sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp double cream
Pinch of salt

Method:
Preheat oven to 220⁰C. Line a baking tray with parchment.

In a food processor blitz the almonds until fine, then add the icing sugar, 1 egg, a pinch of salt and the cream. Blitz this until all combined, scrap down the sides if necessary and blitz again.

Roll out the puff pastry and cut rounds of appx. 8cm. Place the rounds on the prepared tray, spread the almond paste in the middle of half of them, leaving a 1.5cm gap at the edges. Place another puff pastry round on top, gently press down and then seal the edges using the back of a fork. Using a sharp knife make thin cuts into the top of the pastry from the centre out. Egg wash the top of each and sprinkle a little icing sugar over. Place in the oven and bake for appx.12 mins, until puffed up and golden.

Take out the oven, place on a wire rack and allow to cool. Dust a little more icing sugar over the top before serving.

Enjoy.
