How to make stuffed croissants
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Prepare 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry and roll out with a rolling pin to about 45 x 40 cm. Cut in three lengthwise and then in half, leaving 6 rectangles.
- Then cut each rectangle into 2 triangles.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of the almond filling and spread on each triangle. Roll up the triangles, starting at the shorter side. Space the croissants evenly on the baking trays.
- In a small bowl, gently mix the egg and cream together. Brush the croissants with the mixture and sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Leave to cool for 5 minutes before sprinkling with icing sugar and serving hot.
