Almond Filling
- 120 g almonds (finely chopped or ground)
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 125 g softened butter (approx. 9 tbsp)
- 30 g flour (approx. 3 tbsp)
- 5 ml almond extract or vanillin
- 2 g salt (a pinch)
- 1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk
Dough & Topping
- 1 package puff pastry (approx. 400–500 g)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 50 g almonds (flakes or finely chopped, for topping)
Milk Glaze
- 120 g powdered sugar
- 10–15 ml milk (2–3 tsp)
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- In a blender, combine the almonds, sugar, butter, flour, eggs, and almond extract until a smooth, thick filling is formed.
- Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into long strips.
- Spread the filling along the center of each strip, fold, and seal the edges.
- Cut into small squares and make three small slits on top to create the signature shape.
- Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with almond flakes.
- Bake for 16–18 minutes, until golden brown.
- Once cooled, drizzle with the glaze (powdered sugar mixed with milk).
💡 Tips
- If almond extract is unavailable, vanillin works perfectly as an alternative.
- A pinch of cinnamon can be added to the filling for a warm, traditional Armenian flavor.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored for 1–2 days in an airtight container.
