Ingredients
- 1 batch Brioche dough remove from refrigerator and let rise for 2 hours
- 1 cup blanched almonds 230 g
- 2/3 cup sugar 130 g
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 180 g
- 2 teaspoons flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- An additional egg for brushing tops
- slice almonds for garnish
- powdered sugar confectioners
Instructions
-
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, pulse the almonds until coarsely ground. Add sugar and continue to process until mixture resembles sand. Add sugar, butter, flour, cornstarch, 1 egg, and vanilla extract. Process until creamy and smooth.
-
Once the dough has risen for 2 hours, roll into a large 18 x 10-inch rectangle. Spread the almond cream over the top of the dough. Cut dough into 1 to 1 1/2-inch strips. Roll up each strip and place in buttered muffin tins or baking paper cups.
-
Cover and allow to rise for 1 hour or until the dough feels like a marshmallow while lightly pressed. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F (176 C) oven for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately removed from muffin tins to prevent from sticking. Makes 18 - 20 muffin size buns.
