To make this Honey Almond Danish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Sliced almonds for topping
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into four equal squares. In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour, sugar, almond extract, and beaten egg until it forms a paste. Spoon the almond paste onto the center of each pastry square, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold the corners of the pastry squares over the almond paste and press them down lightly to seal. Brush the tops of the pastries with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle sliced almonds on top. Bake the pastries for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
Once the pastries are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle honey over the top of each pastry. Serve warm and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures.
This Honey Almond Danish is a perfect breakfast pastry or a sweet treat for any time of the day. The flaky pastry dough is filled with a sweet almond paste and topped with sliced almonds and honey, making it a perfect combination of nutty and sweet flavors.

Cooking tip: To make the pastry even more flaky and delicious, chill the pastry dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the butter in the dough to solidify and create layers in the pastry as it bakes.
