Almond puffs are a delightful and buttery treat, perfect for any occasion. They are made with a blend of almonds, butter, and a hint of vanilla, resulting in a light and airy texture that's simply irresistible. Whether you're looking to impress guests at a party or just want a sweet snack, almond puffs are a versatile and easy-to-make option.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them in preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until they are fragrant and lightly golden.
- Let the almonds cool completely, then finely grind them in a food processor or blender. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the ground almonds, stirring to mix evenly into the butter mixture.
- Slowly incorporate the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be smooth and well combined.
- Preheat the oven again to 350°F (175°C) if it was turned off.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll tablespoon-sized portions of the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the puffs are lightly golden. The tops should remain fairly light.
- Remove from the oven and let the puffs cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the puffs are completely cooled, place the powdered sugar in a fine-mesh sieve and lightly dust the tops of the almond puffs.
Tips:
- For an extra burst of almond flavor, consider toasting the almonds lightly before grinding them.
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother dough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the puffs from spreading too much.
- Use a food processor or high-quality blender to finely grind the almonds, ensuring an even texture.
- Dust the puffs with powdered sugar immediately after baking while they're still warm for a sweeter finish.
Almond puffs are a crowd-pleasing dessert that's both simple to prepare and deliciously satisfying. With their melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich almond flavor, they'll quickly become a favorite in your recipe collection. Serve them alongside a cup of tea or coffee for the perfect afternoon treat.
