Mini almond galettes are a delightful pastry treat that's both easy to make and incredibly delicious. With flaky puff pastry, a rich almond filling, and a hint of sweetness, these mini galettes are perfect for any occasion, whether it's a casual brunch or a sophisticated dessert. This recipe uses simple ingredients like puff pastry, almonds, brown sugar, milk, and sour cream to create a delectable treat that will impress your family and friends.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- Roll out each sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to ensure they are even and smooth.
- Using a round cookie cutter (about 3-4 inches in diameter), cut out circles from each sheet of puff pastry. You should be able to get around 10-12 circles from each sheet, depending on the size of your cutter.
- Place the puff pastry circles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
- Spoon a small amount of sour cream (about a teaspoon) into the center of each pastry circle, spreading it out slightly but leaving a border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the roughly chopped almonds evenly over the sour cream on each pastry.
- Follow with a sprinkle of brown sugar over the almonds.
- Gently fold the edges of each puff pastry circle up and over the filling to create a small crust. The center should remain open so the filling is visible.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with the milk using a pastry brush. This will help give the galettes a golden-brown finish as they bake.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
- Remove the galettes from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful dessert or snack.
Tips:
- Use cold puff pastry: Make sure your puff pastry is cold when you start working with it. This ensures the layers remain distinct and flaky during baking.
- Chill before baking: After assembling the galettes, chill them in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before baking. This helps the pastry maintain its shape and flakiness.
- Evenly spread almonds and sugar: Distribute the almonds and brown sugar evenly over the puff pastry to ensure every bite has a balanced flavor.
- Don’t skip the sour cream: The sour cream adds richness and helps create a creamy texture that complements the crunchy almonds and flaky pastry.
- Check for doneness: Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp. Oven times may vary, so keep an eye on your galettes to prevent over-baking.
Mini almond galettes are a beautifully simple yet sophisticated pastry that can be made with just a handful of ingredients. Their crisp, flaky texture combined with the nutty sweetness of almonds and brown sugar makes them a truly irresistible treat. Follow these tips for perfect results every time and enjoy a batch of mini almond galettes that are sure to impress.
