Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ⅓ cups soy milk
  • ⅓ cup melted dairy-free butter, unsalted
  • 1 ¼ cups almond flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup melted dairy-free butter, unsalted (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons water, as needed
  • ⅓ cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons melted dairy-free butter, unsalted (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil the sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Add soy milk and melted butter. Mix with a spatula until a dough forms, then gently knead until smooth. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine almond flour, sugar, melted butter, and almond extract to make the almond paste. Add water a teaspoon at a time if needed until a sticky, rollable paste forms.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12.5 x 10.5 inch rectangle. Cut in half lengthwise, then cut triangles from each half.
  5. Take a triangle, roll to slightly lengthen, and place about 1 tablespoon of almond paste at the base. Roll up toward the tip to form a croissant shape.
  6. Place pastries on the baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and press sliced almonds on top.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and immediately brush again with melted butter. Cool on a wire rack.
  8. Once cooled slightly, dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Notes

  • Use orange zest or vanilla extract for flavor variation.
  • Ground hazelnuts can replace some almond flour for a nutty twist.
  • Drizzle cooled pastries with melted dairy-free chocolate for extra indulgence.
  • Let the dough rest before rolling to prevent shrinkage.
