Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound puff pastry, rolled into a 17x13 inch rectangle
1/3 cup plus 6 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon silvered almonds
3/4 cup milk
3 egg yolks
2 teaspoons grated orange rind
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup grand marnier

These Napoleons were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. The pastry was flaky and the filling was creamy and flavorful. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.
