Method
- Preheat the oven to 170C
- Cut the croissants in half lengthways.
- Prepare the glaze by combining the sugar and boiling water in a bowl and setting aside to dissolve.
- Prepare the frangipane but beating together the butter, sugar and almond meal. Once fully incorporated, add the egg and matcha and mix until smooth.
- Brush the croissants inside and out with the glaze.
- Add about a tablespoon of frangipane to the bottom half of the croissant. Sandwich the top layer back on and pipe another layer of frangipane on top.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of almonds on top of the croissants.
- Place in the preheated oven for around 10-12 minutes, or until golden on top and the filling warmed.
- Prepare the topping by combining sieved icing sugar and matcha in a bowl.
- Allow the croissants to cool for at least 10 minutes, the dust liberally with the matcha icing sugar mixture.
