Boil the water and granulated sugar for the syrup for 4 minutes, then leave it to cool.
Beat the butter with the granulated sugar for the cream, then add the egg and vanilla extract.
Add the almond flour and make a spreadable almond cream.
Cut the croissants horizontally and quickly moisten the cut sides with syrup.
Spread two thirds of the almond cream inside the croissants and close them.
Spread the remaining cream on top and scatter with sliced almonds.
Bake the croissants at 180°C for 13 minutes, until the almonds brown.
Rest for 5 minutes and serve with powdered sugar.
💡 Tip: Do not soak the croissants in the syrup; a quick wetting keeps the outer layers from turning doughy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve almond croissants warm as a breakfast sweet with optional unsweetened filter coffee or Turkish coffee.
