Filling Ingredients















Instructions
Step 1
Start by creaming the butter at room temperature with sugar until it becomes fluffy and light.
Next, add eggs and a pinch of salt, then mix again until fully incorporated.
Now, gently add both types of flour: all-purpose and almond flour. Use a spatula to fold them in until you achieve a smooth mixture.
Tip: If you don’t have almond flour, you can simply grind almonds into a fine powder.
Step 2
Take your prepared croissants and make a cut along one side, but be careful not to cut all the way through. Think of it as opening a book.
Now, add a generous amount of the almond filling into the center of each croissant.
Don’t forget to spread some of the cream on top as well for extra flavor!
Step 3
Next, roll the filled croissants in almond flakes for a lovely crunch and presentation.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and arrange the croissants on a baking sheet.
Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and deliciously fragrant.
Step 4
Once baked, let the croissants cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your almond-filled croissants fresh out of the oven, and savor every delicious bite!
Servings
Equipment
A good mixing bowl is essential for combining your ingredients smoothly. Make sure it’s large enough to accommodate all the ingredients without spilling!



Use a whisk for beating the butter and sugar until fluffy. It’s also great for mixing in the eggs.



A silicone spatula is perfect for folding in the flour without overmixing the batter.



Line your baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure an easy cleanup.
Preheat your oven properly to 180°C (356°F) for that golden-brown finish. An oven thermometer can help ensure accuracy.



Variations
Faq
- Why didn’t my croissants rise properly?
Check your yeast’s expiration date and ensure your dough was kneaded enough. Proper rising conditions are key, so let your dough sit in a warm, draft-free area.
- Can I use different fillings for the croissants?
Absolutely! You can try chocolate, jam, or even a savory filling like cheese. Get creative!
- I’m getting a lumpy batter. What should I do?
Make sure to gradually mix in the flour and don’t overbeat the batter. If using almond flour, it can create a slightly different consistency.
- How can I tell when my croissants are done baking?
Look for a golden-brown color on top. If you tap the bottom of a croissant and it sounds hollow, they’re ready!
- What can I do if my croissants start to burn on the bottom?
Consider placing the baking tray on a higher rack in the oven or use an insulated baking tray to prevent burning.
- Can I freeze the croissants after baking?
Yes! Allow them to cool completely and then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for a fresh taste!
