Cooking Instructions
- 1
These are the ingredients you'll use.
- 2
Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C).
- 3
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the puff pastry sheets to fit the size of the baking sheet, place them together, and poke holes with a fork.
- 4
Bake at 430°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. Once baked, press down with a spoon to flatten. If the dough has separated, press it back together.
- 5
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- 6
Melt the butter in a saucepan over heat.
- 7
Once the butter is melted, add the granulated sugar, milk, and honey. Simmer over medium heat until it becomes bubbly and thick. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- 8
If using a stovetop, the bottom and sides of the pan can burn easily, so stir from the edges and bottom to prevent this.
- 9
Remove from heat and add the sliced almonds. Return to heat and simmer until it thickens.
- 10
Spread the mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about 1/4 inch (5mm) around the edges.
- 11
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10-15 minutes until caramel-colored. Adjust the baking time as needed based on your oven.
- 12
Once cooled, trim the edges and cut into your desired shape.
- 13
It's ready to enjoy!
- 14
I planned to use heavy cream, but since I didn't have any at home, I used milk instead.
- 15
You can increase the filling ingredients and add nuts, dried fruits, or colorful beans with the sliced almonds for extra flavor.
- 16
Cut into long strips and dip both ends in melted chocolate for a delicious touch!

Puff Pastry Puff Pastry
This originally started with me wanting to make arlettes and palmiers but not really being motivated to buy puff pastry from the store. I got a day off work and decided to give it a try. It turns out to be a lot of fun to do and you get a much better pastry than the store bought one.You definitely need a french rolling pin for working the butter. Whether or not you need a pastry scrape depends on how hot your kitchen is. It's been a chilli winter for me so I didn't actually use mine.Puffy pastry is best used the day you make it but you can keep it in a Tupperware container for a few days in the fridge.
