Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 3
Beat 1/3 cup superfine sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs yolks; beat well. Beat in almond extract. Stir in ground almonds and flour until reaches a thick paste-like consistency.
Step 4
Cut puff pastry into 8 equal pieces. Place 1 tablespoon almond mixture in lower center of each piece puff pastry. Fold puff pastry over filling; press edges together to seal. Make three 1/2-inch cuts, equally spaced apart on bottom edge, to make "claws." Transfer pastries to a baking sheet.
Step 5
Whisk whole egg and water together in a bowl; brush on each bear claw, then sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons superfine sugar and sliced almonds.
