Easiest Almond Croissants EVER!

- Опубликовано: 9 окт 2022
- Almond croissants are the king of all croissants, but they're so expensive!
I'm going to show you how to make your regular croissants taste like they came right out of a Parisian bakery!
Flaky, buttery croissants, filled with a sweet, sticky frangipane, topped with a crispy, chewy topping and finished with flaked almonds and a dusting of confectioners' sugar. I can't think of anything better to have with a cup of coffee in the morning.

Free printable recipe is available on our site: www.kitchensanctuary.com/how-...
Ingredients:
▢4 large shop bought croissants - either fresh - or a day or two old
Glaze:
▢120 ml (½ cup) water
▢1 tbsp golden caster sugar - or superfine sugar
▢1 tsp vanilla extract
Frangipane:
▢90 g (¾ cup) ground almonds
▢60 g (4 tbsp) soft (but not melted) unsalted butter
▢100 g (½ cup) golden caster sugar - or superfine sugar
▢1 pinch of salt
▢1 small egg
▢½ tsp almond extract
Also:
▢4 tbsp flaked almonds
▢1 tbsp confectioners' sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 175c/350f Fan.
2. Make a slit, lengthways, in each of the croissants along the outer side.
3. Make the glaze first. Place the glaze ingredients into a small pan and bringing to the boil. Bubble for a minute or two until the sugar dissolves, then turn off the heat and allow to cool slightly.
4. Now make the frangipane. Place the ground almonds, butter and sugar in a bowl and beat together with a wooden spoon.
5. Add in the salt, egg and almond extract and mix until combined.
6. Carefully dip (but don't soak!) each of the croissants in the glaze and allow the excess to drip off. It will be very watery, but don't worry, this glaze is just there to add a little moisture to the croissants and to make the outside a little crispier when cooked.
7. Place the croissants on a baking tray. Take a spoon and spoon half of the frangipane mixture inside the croissants.
8. Spread the rest of the frangipane on top of the croissants.
9. Sprinkle the flaked almonds on top and place the croissants in the oven for 12-14 minutes - until the top is golden brown and crisp (the inside should be hot, but it won't crisp up - it will be like a creamy paste).
10. Take out of the oven and leave to cool slightly, then sprinkle on confectioners' sugar and serve.

Thank you so much for doing a semi-homemade type video. I live alone & find baking a little frustrating because you put almost as much effort in to making a small batch of baked goods as you do a standard batch. If I make a full batch, I eat them-ALL lol! This gives me the best of both worlds, please do more of this type from time to time.
Thank you for the recipe. We are big fans of any croissant ❤
I just made 6 of them ( small ones) with the same amount of ingredients.. super yummy and super crispy.. love love 💖
Thanks again 🙏🌺

She never fails to deliver……. Love Nickys recipes and ideas
Yay! Thank you!
I went to Costco today and bought a box of croissants and I made these and they were excellent. I made it bad, adding a full teaspoon of almond, and they were great too.
Just found your channel and absolutely love all your recipes. I had got stuck in a rut with my cooking and now I have endless possibilities. Your recipes are so easy to follow and taste delicious ❤️
I’m from New Zealand and I’ve just been given Nicky’s recipe book .I absolutely love it as I’ve been wanting A lot on U Tube .Thank you Nicky for an awesome book
Oohh thank you for the recipe! I love any type of almond/pistachio dessert. This looks delicious!
My favourite type of Croissant! Thanks a mil Nicky. They look amazing.
I absolutely LOVE Croissants, never tried an almond one though..and for the price you mentioned, I most likely I never will 🤣
Especially when I can just follow your instructions and make my own, thank you, can't wait to try this.
I love this. They are my hubby’s favourite so definitely giving these a go

Thank you so much
I have just made these and they are lovely your a star for showing us something so easy but fabulous , can we have some enchilada s easy ones with tasty filling hun x
Looks nice nickie xxxx👍
My favourite breakfast snack
Mine too 😋
Oh my god they look gorgeous thank you!! Can you prep them the night before and put them in the oven in the morning??
Any idea wht to do with leftover batter as I made only for 3 croissants??
I’ve never had one of these, it looks good. I can see why you wouldn’t want one stone cold though.
Well this is being made tomorrow morning!
Hope you enjoy them 😊
Gold sugar is the same as brown sugar?
just wondering when my cook book might arrive - ordered through waterstones back in Aug and have had no update. seems like others getting theirs
Hi Andrew, I heard Waterstones have been having some distribution problems (affecting all books, not just mine). Could you drop them an email with your order number? Hopefully it will give them a kick up the backside x
£4.50 for a croissant?! That’s insane!
What kind of sugar??
I know I am being pedantic but they aren't croissants, they're straight and it is harder to do that recipe if one has the crescent shaped ones. A store near here sells small curved ones and if we are having people round for snacks, I usually get a couple of dozen, slit them and put ham and cheese inside and then put them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes.
Hi Alejandra, the recipe works great for curved croissants and smaller ones too - just use half the amount of frangipane with the small ones.
I love savoury croissants too - ham and cheese with a honey mustard glaze 😋
Ground almonds same as almond flour?
Yes
Morning Nicki, this is taking a boring croissant to the next level. Just need a cup of ta to go with that. Enjoy thank you for sharing. Kind regards.
Are you saying “Frangypan”? Is that like Marzipan? Anyway looks yummy.
Oh dear me Nicky; I wish you wouldn't make such tempting food. Are you on a mission to fatten the Nation! Still gonna try it though!
Thank you for including the imperial equivalent along with the metric so I don't have to look it up.

I love almond croissants, but prefer to leave out the almond essence as it is too overpowering and the recipe is excellent without the essence.
Why don’t you add the “thanks” button to your channel / videos…
£4.50 ouch, what a rip off
Absolutely waste of time. Not happy
Dear reader: want to know for certain that you're going to Heaven? Simply trust the Gospel = that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried & rose to life again on the third day according to the Scriptures. That's it. No church/religion/good works/water baptism etc. required. Salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone, it is the gift of God ✝️
Repent, confess and believe
@@hildagorgis744 Repentance is to believe. Metanoia/metanoeo in the Greek means a change of mind: from unbelief to belief. To believe the Gospel, the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ means we have believed, our faith is in the Lord. Amen! 🙌
What a load of crap, it’s a cooking video, why did you not make the croissants as well. I watch all your videos disappointing
Because I like to show people how to do shortcuts too. Nobody should feel judged for not making things completely from scratch all the time Liam.
I disagree, this is an easy addition which is what a lot of people want. I doubt very much I would ever make my own from scratch, but this is very doable and turns bought product into something special.
Making things like croissants from scratch isn't the objective of this channel. (And they're not easy to make either) It's main objective is for meals that can be prepared quickly and easily for people that don't have a lot of time to prepare gourmet meals. This is a good example of how to turn something ordinary into something a bit more special.
I love the fact you can use shop bought croissants, not everyone has time to make them and when I have made them they have been eaten within minutes so they wouldn't even be sat around long enough 😂😂
