ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries, sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1-2 teaspoons almond extract
- 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- egg wash, for brushing
- powdered sugar, for sprinkling
Method
Step 1
Heat the oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, toss together the strawberries, 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Let macerate at room temperature.
Step 3
Make the frangipane: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, the rest of the granulated sugar, and salt for a minute or two on medium speed. Add in flours, egg, and almond extract and combine on low speed. Set aside.
Step 4
Use a rolling pin to roll out the puff pastry and soften the seams and edges a bit. Fold over each side, creating a 1/2-inch border. Dock the pastry, avoiding the border. Repeat for the second sheet of pastry.
Step 5
Spread half the frangipane on each sheet of pastry and layer half of the strawberries on each sheet. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top and spread egg wash on the border. Sprinkle granulated or turbinado sugar on the border.
Step 6
Bake for 20-22 minutes until the border is puffy and browned. Cool for a few minutes and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
