Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

⅓ cup superfine sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large egg yolks
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup ground almonds
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed and rolled out into a 16x16-inch square
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, or to taste
2 tablespoons superfine sugar, or to taste

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.

These bear claws were a bit dry, but they were still tasty. I think I would add a little more butter to the dough next time.

These bear claws were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar in the filling next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bear claws turned out flat. They still tasted good, but they didn't look as pretty as the ones in the picture.
