Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F. Place 1 cup flour in medium bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup softened butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of coarse crumbs. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons water over mixture; toss with fork.
  • 2 Gather pastry into a ball; divide in half. Pat each half into 12x3-inch rectangle, about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 3 In 2-quart saucepan, heat 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup water to rolling boil; remove from heat. Quickly stir in almond extract and 1 cup flour. Stir vigorously over low heat about 1 minute or until mixture forms a ball; remove from heat. Add eggs; beat until smooth. Spread half of the topping over each rectangle.
  • 4 Bake about 1 hour or until topping is crisp and brown; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely.
  • 5 In medium bowl, mix all glaze ingredients except nuts until smooth and spreadable. Spread over top of pastry; sprinkle with nuts.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Danish pastry originated when the Danes added sweet fillings to Austrian pastry. The result--a crispy, golden puff with a luscious, surprise filling--earned praise even from the Austrians!

Balance the sweet almond flavor by serving with a small bowl of lemon curd garnished with mint.

This recipe sndous amazing! I was just trying to come up with something using gluten free tortillas. We are making the switch to be a gluten free family to help with my son's food allergies. This would be the perfect thing to try as the ingredients are all things he can eat! I LOVE your website and your book! It has been the greatest blessing for our family since starting this food allergy journey! Thank you for sharing everything! Oh and your soy nut butter cookies were amazing! We tried those the other day. My other son who loves peanut butter was happy to find a replacement!

I have been making these puffs for over 30 years. They are easy to make and look like you bake like a master chef. I have used different nuts for toppings and also used mini chocolate chips.
