Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup finely ground blanched almonds
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoons dark rum
White butcher's string
1 1/2 pounds of puff pastry (see recipe)
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • To make the filing, cream butter and sugar together. Add egg and beat until smooth. Add almonds, extract and rum.
  • Wrap the filling in plastic wrap and chill until it is hard.
  • To form the puff, roll the puff pastry on a floured board into a large square, 15 inches by 15 inches. Pastry should be less than onequarter-inch thick.
  • Place chilled ball of filling in center of dough and gather up edges of pastry. Tie a piece of string securely around pastry, totally enclosing the filling. Cut off excess pastry with scissors. Place puff on a baking sheet and chill for at least two hours.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Brush the puff with an egg glaze made of one egg yolk and two tablespoons of heavy cream.
  • Bake the puff for 20 minutes at 450 degrees, then reduce the heat to 425 degrees and continue baking until the pastry is a golden brown. Remove from oven, slide the puff on a baking rack to cool. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. Decorate, if desired, with a single perfect blossom.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my almond puffs didn't rise. They were flat and dense.
