Here is my recipe for almond croquants, just as my father makes them for the holidays.

Croquants are one of the thirteen Provençal desserts served at Christmas. They are a very popular treat during the holiday season.

They’re very easy to make, and I’ve chosen to use less sugar to make them lighter.

Add to shopping list

500 g of flour
300 g of sugar
1 pinch of salt
350 g of almonds
5 eggs including one for glazing the croquants

1
Set aside one egg for glazing. Mix all the ingredients together until you have a very thick batter. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the dough into two loaves and flatten them well; otherwise, the center won’t cook through. Beat the last egg and brush it over the tops of the loaves using a pastry brush.
3
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in an oven preheated to 180°C.
4
As soon as they come out of the oven, slice each loaf before they harden.
