- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder

- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, whey protein powder, and all-purpose flour.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, salt, baking powder, eggs, almond extract, and honey.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Dust a surface with some flour and knead the dough gently until smooth.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin.
Cut into 8 square pieces and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each pastry square with a bit of milk and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the pastries to cool on a wire rack before serving.
