- Roll the puff pastry and slice it in the middle. NOTE: For this Recipe, I used scraps I had put together from my Galette des Rois.1 Puff pastry sheet
- Pipe the Frangipane in length to cover the surface of the puff pastry. You can use your offset spatula to flatten it down.Arrange the second half of the puff pastry so it fits on top nicely. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Take your puff pastry out of the refrigerator and using a pizza cutter, cut about 5 strips. NOTE: The larger they are the better the twists will look. My were about 2-inch | 6 cm wide.
- Twist and roll each segment into a knot. Brush the egg yolk and add the sliced almond on top. Refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes.1 egg yolk, 1 oz sliced almonds
BAKE!
