RECIPE FOR EASY ALMOND CROISSANTS
Makes 12
Ingredients
¼ cup of unsalted butter
¼ cup powdered sugar
4 oz of almond paste (* see link below for how to make almond paste)
3 eggs, separated
½ tsp almond extract
3 tbsp flour
1 package puffed pastry (you will need 2 sheets)
1 egg, lightly beaten
¾ cup sliced almonds
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 400.
Beat together butter, sugar and almond paste until combined.
Add 2 eggs, one at a time, reserving the 3 egg for the egg wash. Then add the almond extract.
Add flour slowly until just combined.
Cut out a 3 x5 square of puffed pastry. Place 2 tbsp of almond paste in the center. Take one corner and fold it over the cream, and then take the other corner and fold it over the top.
At this stage you could cover with plastic wrap and place your tray in the fridge overnight. And then the next morning proceed as follows.
Lightly beat 1 egg, and then with a pastry brush, brush the egg wash over the pastries. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp of almonds
Place in the oven 20 mins until puffed and golden brown.

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe
This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).
