Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g butter, room temperature
  • 160 g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 200 g ground almond
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 sheets puff pastry
  • 1 egg beaten for egg wash

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400F / 200C
  2. In a medium bowl or stand mixer, beat together room temperature butter with sugar until it becomes light in colour.
  3. Add in eggs and thoroughly incorporate them before adding the ground almond meal and the almond and vanilla extracts.
  4. Roll out your first layer of puff pastry and place it on parchment lined baking sheet. Prick the surface with a fork.
  5. Place your Almond mixture onto the centre of the puff pastry with a piping bag or offset spatula leaving ensuring to leave a half inch/ 1.5cm edge without the almond cream. Place your feve inside. Wet the edge with a touch of water before adding the second layer of puff pastry and press the edges together to create a seal.
  6. Using your extra egg all beaten together, paint the top of your puff pastry. Next using s sharp knife, score the surface with the pattern of your choice, poke a few holes through the surface to let the steam escape and place in the oven for about 35 minutes until it's nice and golden brown.
