Instructies
Almond paste
- Chop the almonds in the food processor. Then add the sugar, lemon zest and egg and mix until combined. Make a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Place the ball in the fridge for at least half a day, but a few days is even better.
- If you are going to use the almond paste, mix a little bit of water through it so that it becomes smooth again. Then it is ready to use.
Pastry bar
- Preheat the oven at 180 degrees
- Roll out the puff pastry on a baking tray lined with baking paper. If you use sheets, make sure that a sheet is created.
- Cut the puff pastry in half along the long side.
- Put 200 grams of almond paste on each half and make sure that it lies on the puff pastry like a sausage, but not all the way to the end.
- Fold the puff pastry inwards on the short side of the almond paste.
- Then fold one long side over the almond paste and moisten the open side with a brush so that it sticks. Then fold the other long side over the food and place the pastry stick seam side down.
- Repeat for the other half of the puff pastry.
- Brush the pastry bars with a mixture of egg and milk.
- Put in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
