Instructions
-
Beat the almond paste, butter and icing sugar together adding one egg at a time. Tip in the almond extract and salt, combine and add the flour and mix thoroughly.
-
Roll out the puff pastry on to a clean work surface that's dusted with flour. Cut out equal circular shapes using a small bowl or plate as a guide. Place the circular pastry on to a baking tray lined with baking paper.
-
Spoon the almond paste on to half of the circles, spread on leaving a border and brush the border with an egg wash.
-
Place the remaining circles on top and press the edges together to seal. Create a decorative pattern on top, brush with an egg wash and place in the refrigerator for half an hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 200C and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown and serve at room temperature.
