Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold unsalted butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and almond extract. Add the sliced almonds and stir to combine.
3
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Spread the almond filling over the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
4
Fold the edges of the dough up over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry into a decorative shape.
5
Place the pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
