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.

For a long time, the ‘Butterfly’ haircut reigned as the most requested style. But in 2025 and the early months of 2026, ‘Bobs’ took over, and we loved seeing Lily Collins, Ji-young Yoo and Kathy Bates embrace different versions of the trend. From French bobs to blunt cuts and box bobs, each of them wore the style beautifully.

Myths & Misunderstandings - Can I over-protein my hair?

June 11, 2026

 

Healthy hair is essentially 97% protein and 3% water. The protein provides the structural strength, the water gives flexibility and shine. Hair cannot be overloaded with protein but it can become so dehydrated with heat styling, colouring, and siliconised hair products that you end up losing the 3% water of fresh root hair, and then what is left of the shrunken hair towards the ends is 100% protein and too porous to hold moisture.
