Matcha Almond Croissants

🧂 Ingredients

• 115 g unsalted butter

  softened to room temperature
• 100 g almond flour
• 80 g powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons matcha powder

  culinary grade
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs

  room temperature
• 4 croissants
• slivered almonds

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• 2 In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to cream the butter until
  creamy, about 3 minutes. Add in the eggs one at a time and mix on low speed
  after each one until combined.
• 3 Sift in the almond flour, powdered sugar, matcha powder, and salt. Mix on low
  speed until combined. Transfer this matcha frangipane to a piping bag and snip
  about 1” off the tip of the bag.
• 4 Slice your croissants in half lengthwise and place the bottom halves on the
  baking sheet.
• 5 Pipe a generous amount of the matcha frangipane on each croissant. Place the top
  halves of each croissant on top of the frangipane. Use any remaining frangipane
  to pipe a line on top of each croissant and press sliced almonds on top to stick
  to the frangipane (optional).
• 6 Bake for about 20-25 minutes until deep golden brown and very crispy. Let
  croissants cool on the baking sheet. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy while
  warm or once cooled!
