There’s no marzipan and they’re not hugely poufy, but still, that’s what they are. Good emergency I-Need-Something-Sweet-Now item from store cupboard. You need:
Two frozen sheets of puff pastry
1 cup almond meal
0.5 cup icing sugar
A few slurps of Amaretto or almond essence (optional)
1 egg
A few dried apricots (optional)
Lay one of the sheets flat on a greased baking tray. Combine
the almond meal, sugar, and the white of the egg (keep the yolk) with just
enough Amaretto or almond essence and water to make it into a thick paste. If
you’re using the apricots, chop them up and add too. Spread on the bottom
sheets, cover with the other, seal round the edges. Combine the yolk with either
more amaretto and a bit of sugar or just water and brush over the top, bake on
high until it’s done (golden and… poufy).
You can serve this
warm with ice cream over the top in squares, but it’s a little hard to cut the
bottom layer in a bowl. I think the sick-cut method when they’re a bit cooler (making
them delectable finger food) is preferable.
