📝 Preparation Steps
1
Thaw a sheet of puff pastry per the package's instructions (if store-bought) and preheat oven to 395°F.
2
When the pastry is soft but still cold, roll it out slightly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cut diagonal 1-inch strips on both of the outer 1/3 sides.
3
Separate the egg and set aside the white. To the egg yolk, add the 1½ tablespoons milk, almond flour, regular flour, powdered sugar, and almond extract. Mix well and spread over the middle section of the pastry.
