Almond Danish Puff

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Almond Danish Puff.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious Danish pastry, grab a medium bowl and mix together 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup of softened butter.

2. Step 2

   Using a fork or a pastry blender, blend the ingredients until they resemble a crumbly texture.

3. Step 3

   Next, add in 2 tablespoons of water and stir with your fork until the dough starts to come together.

4. Step 4

   Once it does, divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each one into a long strip, about 14 inches long and 3 inches wide.

5. Step 5

   Place these strips on an ungreased baking sheet and set them aside for now.

6. Step 6

   Now, let’s get that oven ready! Preheat it to 350°F (175°C) so it’s nice and hot when your pastry is ready to bake.

7. Step 7

   While the oven warms up, take a saucepan and combine 1/2 cup of butter with 1 cup of water.

8. Step 8

   Bring this mixture to a rolling boil, then remove it from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of almond extract for that lovely flavor.

9. Step 9

   Quickly add 1 cup of flour to the saucepan, stirring vigorously until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan.

10. Step 10

    This is where the magic happens! Gradually mix in 3 beaten eggs, stirring until your batter is smooth and well combined.

11. Step 11

    Now it’s time to spread that luscious batter evenly over the two prepared crusts on your baking sheet.

12. Step 12

    Pop them into your preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.

13. Step 13

    Once they’re done, let them cool to room temperature before you move on to the frosting.

14. Step 14

    For the frosting, simply mix together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 1 teaspoon of almond extract, and a splash of milk in a small bowl until it’s smooth and creamy.

15. Step 15

    If the frosting is too thick, feel free to add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.

16. Step 16

    Finally, drizzle that delightful frosting over your cooled Danish and sprinkle with candy sprinkles for a fun touch.
