INGREDIENTS

  • Filling Ingredients

    • ⅓ cup superfine sugar
    • 🧈 ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
    • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
    • 1 cup ground almonds
    • 🌾 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 💧 1 tablespoon water

  • Topping and Dough

    • 2 tablespoons superfine sugar, or to taste
    • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, or to taste
    • 8 pieces puff pastry
    • 🥚 1 whole egg, whisked

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

Beat ⅓ cup superfine sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add egg yolks; beat well. Beat in almond extract. Stir in ground almonds and flour until it reaches a thick paste-like consistency.

3

Cut puff pastry into 8 equal pieces. Place 1 tablespoon almond mixture in the lower center of each piece of puff pastry. Fold puff pastry over the filling; press edges together to seal. Make three ½-inch cuts, equally spaced apart on the bottom edge, to make 'claws.' Transfer pastries to a baking sheet.

4

Whisk the whole egg and 1 tablespoon of water in a bowl; brush on each bear claw, then sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons superfine sugar and sliced almonds.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
