ALMOND BEAR CLAWS



Almond Bear Claws image

These flaky Danish pastries are a time-consuming project, but they're a perfect way to show people how much you love them! I like serving them at special brunches. The puff pastry dough and almond filling can be made ahead of time, and the pastries can be frozen before baking.

Time 2h25m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅓ cup almond paste
2 ¾ cups ground almonds
½ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 egg whites
½ teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons amaretto liqueur
3 pounds puff pastry
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons sliced almonds, for garnish
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, beat almond paste with an electric mixer to break it apart. Add the almonds, sugar, and salt; continue to mix until the almond paste is no longer lumpy. Stir in the butter, egg whites, almond extract and amaretto liqueur on high speed until its as fluffy as you can get it. Set aside.
  • Using half of the dough at a time, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle that is about 8 inches wide and 1/4 inch thick. Trim the edges of the dough. Cut the dough in half lengthwise to make two 4 inch wide strips.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Fill a pastry bag halfway with the almond filling and pipe a stripe of filling down the center of each strip. Whisk together the egg and water. Brush onto one edge of each strip. Fold each strip over the filling and press gently to seal it. Brush each piece with egg wash and sprinkle sliced almonds over the top. Cut into 3 to 4 inch pieces, then cut 1/2 inch slits into the sealed edge to make the ''claws''. Place the bear claws at least two inches apart on baking sheets. Refrigerate and repeat with the second half of the dough.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until almonds are toasted and pastry is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool and dust with confectioners' sugar right before serving.

Categories     Nut

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed and rolled out into a 16x16-inch square
2 large egg yolks
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup ground almonds
2 tablespoons (or to taste) sliced almonds
1/3 cup superfine sugar
2 tablespoons (or to taste) superfine sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Beat 1/3 cup superfine sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs yolks and beat well. Beat in almond extract.
  • Stir ground almonds and flour into butter mixture until mixture has a thick paste-like consistency.
  • Cut puff pastry into 8 equal pieces. Place 1 tablespoon almond mixture in the lower center of each piece. Fold top of puff pastry down over the filling and press edges together to seal. Make three 1/2-inch cuts equal lengths apart on the bottom edge to make the "claws".
  • Transfer pastries to a baking sheet.
  • Whisk egg and water together in a bowl. Brush each bear claw with egg mixture and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons superfine sugar and sliced almonds.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Note: To make ground almonds, freeze whole almonds, then place in a food processor and grind in short bursts. Do not over process or allow them to get warm, otherwise they will turn into almond butter.
