ALMOND CROISSANTS
Rum simple syrup and toasted almond cream - both quick and easy to assemble - are all you need to transform stale homemade or store-bought croissants into deliciously sweet and fragrant pastries. The amount of syrup might feel excessive, but it's needed to replace the moisture lost in the croissants as they become stale, so be generous when soaking them.

Steps:
- Make the frangipane: Place the almond flour in a medium skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and toasty smelling, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine the butter and brown sugar, and beat with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Switch to a whisk and whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Whisk in the almond extract, then add the flour, salt and toasted almond flour, and whisk until smooth and satiny. Set the mixture aside.
- Make the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, rum and 1/3 cup/80 milliliters water in a small saucepan and heat over medium, stirring just until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Assemble: Arrange a rack in the upper third of the oven and heat to 350 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Use a pastry brush to soak the cut sides of the croissant halves liberally with the rum syrup. (Use most of it or all, if the croissants are very stale.) Spread the bottom halves with half of the frangipane, dividing evenly and spreading all the way to the edges. Place the top halves over the bottom halves, then spread the remaining frangipane over the tops of the croissants. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over top, dividing evenly.
- Place the croissants on the baking sheet, spacing evenly, and bake until the almonds are toasted and the frangipane is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- For the almond cream: Add the butter, almond paste, rum, flour, almond extract and egg to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
- For the streusel: Add the butter, flour, oats, turbinado sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse until the ingredients become a coarse crumb and set aside.
- To build: Cut each croissant in half lengthwise and place cut-side up on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Brush the cut sides of the croissants with the simple syrup, about 1 teaspoon per half. Equally distribute the almond cream on the croissants followed by the blueberries, and sprinkle the streusel over the top.
- Freeze, uncovered, until totally set, at least 2 hours.
- Remove from the freezer and wrap individually in plastic wrap (to keep the toppings on), then place in large plastic bags.
- To serve: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Take the croissants out of the plastic bags, remove the plastic wrap, place on a baking sheet and bake until the almond cream has set and the streusel is golden, 15 to 17 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with the powdered sugar and serve hot or at room temperature.
- Pour 1 cup water into a saucepan and add the granulated sugar. Stir and place the saucepan over medium heat.
- By the time the edges start to simmer, the sugar should have dissolved and the liquid should be completely clear, not cloudy. Immediately remove from the heat and cool completely.
- Store the simple syrup in an airtight container, in the fridge, until ready to use. Simple syrup stays fresh up to 4 weeks.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the sliced almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for about 5 minutes, or until the almonds just begin to turn golden brown.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the toasted almonds, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Pulse until the almonds break down to medium crumbs.
- Add the butter to the food processor and continue processing until a smooth paste forms.
- Add the egg and 1 teaspoon almond extract and continue to process until the egg is fully incorporated.
- Transfer the almond mixture to a small bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 week.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small pot over medium heat, combine the water and granulated sugar. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining teaspoon of almond extract, then remove the pot from the heat.
- Slice each croissant in half horizontally. Set the bottom halves of each croissant on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush about 1 tablespoon of the almond simple syrup over the cut side of each croissant half.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of the frangipane across the bottom half of each croissant, then cover with the top half.
- Spread another tablespoon of frangipane over the top of each croissant, then sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake the croissants for 12-15 minutes, or until the frangipane begins to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then dust with the powdered sugar.
- Enjoy!
