CREAMY LEMON ALMOND PASTRIES
I love lemon filled doughnuts when I can find them. This recipe brings the concept to a new level by placing the filling into a baked beignet and enhancing it with a bit of almond flavoring and toasted almonds. The result? Sunshine in a bite. -Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois
