Ingredients for Giant Almond Croissant: a 5-Ingredient Recipe

Steps to make Giant Almond Croissant: a 5-Ingredient Recipe

1

Preheat oven

Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
2

Beat butter and sugar

5min

Using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat 6 tablespoons softened butter with ⅓ cup brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
3

Add almond flour

1min

Add 1 cup almond flour and beat to combine.
4

Roll out puff pastry

2min

On a lightly floured surface, roll each sheet of puff pastry out to form a 16-by-12-inch rectangle.
5

Add almond filling

1min

Transfer one puff pastry rectangle to a large parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your hands to spread the almond butter mixture in an even layer over the pastry, leaving a ¼-inch border. Brush the edges with melted butter.
6

Top with another puff pastry rectangle

1min

Then, top with the second sheet of puff pastry, brushing the top with melted butter. Sprinkle with ⅓ cup of sliced almonds.
7

Bake

35min

Bake until the pastry is deeply golden brown and puffed, for 30 to 35 minutes. If the almonds start to brown too quickly, loosely cover the top with a piece of aluminum foil.
8

Cool

Let cool for 10 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar if you wish.
9

Serve

Slice and serve warm.
