• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 3 tbsp softened butter
• 1 egg

• ¼ tsp almond extract
• Pinch of salt

GLAZE

👩🍳 HOW TO MAKE IT
1️⃣ Cook raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch for 4–5 minutes until thick and jammy. Cool completely.
2️⃣ Beat almond flour, sugar, butter, egg, vanilla, almond extract, and salt until creamy.
3️⃣ Roll the puff pastry into a rectangle and place it on parchment.
4️⃣ Spread the almond filling down the center, leaving the sides clear.
5️⃣ Spoon the cooled raspberry filling over the almond layer.
6️⃣ Cut diagonal strips along both sides of the pastry, then fold them alternately over the filling to create the braid. ✨
7️⃣ Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with sliced almonds and coarse sugar.
8️⃣ Bake at 200°C / 400°F for 22–27 minutes, until deeply golden and beautifully puffed.
9️⃣ Cool for 15 minutes, drizzle with vanilla glaze, and finish with fresh raspberries and powdered sugar.
