Almond Creme (Frangipane) Recipe

This recipe came from our resident Pastry Chef, Jesse. Use this almond creme filling when making almond danish, croissant, or fruit/almond tarts. This almond creme filling would go under the tart's fresh fruit topping before baking.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup almond paste

1 cup + 1 teaspoon superfine sugar

1/2 cup butter (1 stick) or shortening
1/3 cup pastry flour

1/4 cup eggs


Directions:

 1. With paddle attachments, mix almond paste and sugar at low speed until evenly mixed.

2. Mix in fat and flour until smooth.

3. Beat in eggs, a little at a time, until smooth.
