Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons almond extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 0.5 cup of unsalted butter. Use a fork or pastry cutter to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 2 tablespoons of cold water and mix until the dough comes together. Form into a ball.
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Shape each into a 12-inch by 3-inch rectangle and place on the prepared baking sheet.
In a saucepan, bring 0.5 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of water to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 0.25 teaspoons of salt. Stir until the mixture forms a ball.
Transfer the hot mixture to a mixing bowl. Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 0.5 teaspoons of almond extract and mix until smooth.
Spread the mixture evenly over the two dough strips on the baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
To make the icing, stir together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 0.5 teaspoons of almond extract until smooth.
Drizzle the icing over the cooled puffs and sprinkle with 0.25 cups of sliced almonds.
Slice and serve at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
