Hi there all! Today after a long time I baked some croissants! I wanted to try out some almond croissants but had no idea about the filling!

I love baking too but have not done almond croissants. These look wonderful!! :-) I have just mixed up a bowl of overnight bran muffin batter and I am making a key lime pie for dinner. I figured since I can't stitch at the moment, and my home is still full of boxes and "stuff" from our basement disaster, I may as well spend time in the kitchen. Sure wish you lived close... we could share...
Hugs, Nadyne

They look delicious! This is one of those times when I wish I could just reach through the internet and have a taste of them. Looks like a lot of work, but I'm sure well worth tube efforts.

I make them from scratch. ...no ready pastry!
They are not difficult to make just a little lengthy process because of waiting time :)
If you have the patience. ..go ahead give it a try and it is worth the wait!
I can give you link to the recipe I follow....it turns out really good! :)
Thank you!

Aaaaawww I wish I could send some too :)
Well I love the amazing aroma that filled my house yesterday when I was baking these! Thanks a lot :)

If you make up a paste of these ingredients it makes a delicious filling. 150g butter, softened - 1/2 cup (75g) icing sugar, sifted, plus extra to dust 4 tablespoons (1/3 cup) flour 2 cups almond meal and 1 teaspoon almond essence. Place these all in a mixer and combine and then fill the croissants. It's delicious. Well done Fatima, these look fabulous. I had one a couple of weeks ago and it was delicious. Love Chris,

Thanks a lot Chris :). ...I will give this a try next time!
What I did in mine is filled them with some home made marzipan! Simply by grinding blanched peeled almonds, icing sugar, little vanilla and some egg white just enough to bind the mixture!
Would try your version and let you know....have a great day :)

They look scummy!
