Almond Twists

1. 1

   Prepare the egg wash: Combine the yolks, whole egg, and milk in a small mixing bowl and whip with a hand whisk until well combined.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

3. 3

   Flour the dough and table as needed to keep the dough from sticking to the table or the rolling pin.

4. 4

   Place the dough on your work surface with a long side facing you.

5. 5

   Use a pastry brush to coat the surface of the rectangle with some egg wash. Liberally sprinkle the ground almonds over the rectangle, followed by the salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Use a sharp paring knife to cut the rectangle into ten 1-inch wide strips.

7. 7

   Next, cut each of these strips into three 4-inch-long pieces.

8. 8

   Flip each strip so that the almonds are on the bottom.

9. 9

   Twist each strip by rolling each end in opposite directions.

10. 10

    Always remember to twist so that the topping faces out --that way you can see how they are flavored.

11. 11

    Place the strips on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet and bake until well risen and golden brown, about 20 minutes.

12. 12

    Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

13. 13

    These puff pastry items are best eaten the day they are made.
