Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pack Gluten-Free Puff Pastry
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Sliced Almonds
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 large Egg Yolk
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of butter, almond flour, and powdered sugar until smooth.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and salt to the almond mixture and mix until well combined to form the almond cream.
Roll out the gluten-free puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut the pastry into 6-inch squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of almond cream on one side of each square, then fold the square over to form a triangle.
Seal the edges by pressing them down with a fork and place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to make an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash, then sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.
While the croissants are baking, melt 1/2 cup of butter and mix in honey.
Remove the croissants from the oven and brush them with the honey butter mixture.
Serve warm and enjoy!
