Jésuite

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. In a bowl, work the softened butter with the sugar until you get a smooth cream.
2. Add the ground almonds, the egg, the flour and the orange blossom water, then mix until the cream is smooth.
3. Unroll the puff pastry and cut out a large disc about 30 cm in diameter.
4. Spread the almond cream over one half of the disc, leaving a 2 cm border, then fold the other half over to form a half-moon.
5. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork, then cut the half-moon into regular diamonds about 8 cm on a side, making sure to press the edges firmly together.
6. Place the jésuites on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, brush them with a little beaten egg and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until well golden.
7. Let cool on a rack, dust with icing sugar and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
