Bear claw pastry
A bear claw pastry is a delicious sweet treat typically made of a yeast dough filled with almond paste, topped with sliced almonds, and shaped to resemble a bear's claw.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into 4 equal rectangles.
- In a bowl, mix the almond paste with sugar until well combined.
- Spread the almond paste mixture evenly on each rectangle of dough.
- Roll up each rectangle from the longer side to form a log.
- Using a sharp knife, make three diagonal cuts on the top of each log to resemble a bear claw.
- Gently spread out the “claws” to create the shape.
- Beat the egg and brush it over the pastries for a shiny finish.
- Sprinkle sliced almonds over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.
- Let the pastries cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
