Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 can(s) refrigerated large crescent rolls
8 tsp raspberry jam
2 oz almond paste (approximate)
1/4 c melted butter
1/4 c sliced almonds
powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375.
  • 2. Unroll crescent rolls and separate.
  • 3. Place 1 teaspoon of jam and approximately 1 teaspoon of almond paste in center of large end and roll up. Be careful that the filling is contained. The almond paste I get is in a roll so I slice a thin slice. If in a can, crumble or flatten it out.
  • 4. Place on ungreased baking sheet.
  • 5. Mix together the melted butter and almonds and top the rolls with it.
  • 6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden.
  • 7. Remove to a rack to cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • 8. Alternate topping - Try drizzling with icing - 1/2 c powdered sugar, dash almond extract, stir in milk by teaspoon until drizzling consistency.

Tips:

  • To achieve a flaky texture, use cold butter straight from the refrigerator. Avoid overworking the dough, or the croissants will turn tough.
  • For a more pronounced almond flavor, use a combination of almond flour and almond extract in the filling and glaze.
  • If you want a slightly sweeter filling, add a teaspoon of sugar to the almond paste mixture.
  • Brush the croissants with an egg wash before baking to give them a golden brown color and glossy finish.
  • Keep an eye on the croissants while they are baking, as they can burn easily.

Conclusion:

Homemade almond crescent rolls are a delicious and impressive pastry that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With their flaky layers of croissant dough, sweet and nutty almond filling, and delicate glaze, they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. These rolls are relatively easy to make, so don't be intimidated if you are a beginner baker.

Follow the tips and instructions in this recipe carefully, and you will be rewarded with a batch of golden brown, flaky, and flavorful almond crescent rolls. Enjoy!
