Lunch: Delicious Almond Braids Recipe

Ingredients

1 package (7 ounces) almond paste
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed

Instructions

Place the almond paste, butter and sugar in a food processor; cover and pulse until chopped. Add egg and flour; process until smooth.
Unfold puff pastry sheets onto a greased baking sheet. Spread half of the filling mixture down the center third of one pastry sheet. On each side, cut eight strips about 3-1/2 in. into the center. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling. Pinch ends to seal. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.
Bake at 375 ° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack.
Combine the confectioners' sugar, milk and almond extract. Drizzle over braids; sprinkle with almonds. Cut into slices.
