Almond Danishes
Easy homemade Almond Danishes made with puff pastry. A quick bakery-style breakfast or brunch option.
Ingredients
Almond Danishes
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 cup almond flour plus 2 tablespoons
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ teaspoon pure almond extract
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Simple Icing
- 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- ¼ cup sliced almonds toasted
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together all of the almond flour, granulated sugar, salt, eggs, and almond extract until fully combined.
- Lay the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 10 equally sized rectangles. Score each rectangle, leaving a half-inch border, and pierce the centers several times with a fork. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Divide the filling evenly between the rectangles, placing it in the centers of the rectangles. Mix the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the edges of the pastry. Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed. Cool completely before icing.
Simple Icing
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, then drizzle over the cooled danishes and top with toasted almonds. Enjoy!
