Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 0.5 cup peach preserves
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix it into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork it.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles from the dough and gently press each circle into the wells of a muffin tin, forming little cups.
Fill each pastry cup with about 1 teaspoon of peach preserves.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the edges of the pastry are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the peach blossoms cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, almond extract, and milk until smooth to make the glaze.
Drizzle the almond glaze over the cooled pastries and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Peach Blossoms!
