Almond Croissants
Jessica Gray
Experience the ultimate hack for crafting fresh almond croissants at home. These babies are so easy and what Mum doesn’t love a nice warm croissant.
Ingredients
- 4 large croissants
- 1 tsp Bakers Salt Blend
- 60g room temp butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup ground almond
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
Directions
- Preheat oven to 170C fan bake.
- Cream butter and icing sugar together for 2 minutes, then beat in egg for another minute. Fold through ground almond and bakers blend until a thick paste forms.
- Cut the croissants in half horizontally and arrange in a baking tray. Add a generous spoonful of almond paste to each croissant and place the top back on.
- Top the croissants with the remaining filling.
- Press some slivered almonds onto the top of each croissant. We also like to do a light grind of additional bakers blend on the top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the filling is set and the croissants are golden. This time varies a bit due to the size of croissants and different oven temps.
- Allow to stand for a few minutes to cook slightly before serving.
