Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams vegan butter
- 60 milliliters cold water
- 50 grams sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 120 grams almond meal
- 30 milliliters almond milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 30 grams sliced almonds
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt together.
Cut the vegan butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture.
Using a pastry cutter or fork, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually stir in the cold water, adding just enough to form a dough.
Knead the dough gently on a floured surface and shape it into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond meal, sugar, almond milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to make the almond filling.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the chilled dough out into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface, about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the almond filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll the dough up tightly from one edge to create a log shape.
Slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with almond milk and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.
Let the pastries cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious vegan treat.
