Almond Croissant Bites

• portions: 24 servings
• temps actif: 20 minutes
• temps total: 32 minutes

Ingrédients

1 sheet store bought puff pastry (half of a 17.3oz package, thawed)

1 cup (96g) blanched almond flour

½ cup (104g) light brown sugar (packed)

½ cup (113g) salted butter (softened)

1½ tablespoons all purpose flour (plus additional for rolling the puff pastry)

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure almond extract

¼ cup (28g) sliced almonds

powdered sugar (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Using a hand mixer, combine almond flour, brown sugar, butter, flour, egg, almond extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, rollout the puff pastry to an 11x11 square. Cut twenty four 2x2 inch squares. Gently press each square into the cavity of a 24-count mini muffin pan.

Fill each pastry cup with 1-tablespoon of filling. A small cookie scoop works great for this. Press a few sliced almonds onto the top of each.

Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool. Remove the pastries from the pan and dust with powdered sugar.
