Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Preheat oven to 375°.
Step #2 Flour a work surface & a rolling pin.
Step #3 Set puff pastry on surface, sprinkle lightly with flour, & roll out into a rectangle about 8 in.
Step #4 by 12 in.
Step #5 & 1/8 in.
Step #6 thick.
Step #7 Arrange pastry so that it's horizontal & trim edges even.
Step #8 Drizzle or spoon 1/4 c honey evenly over entire pastry (don't spread) & sprinkle half of pastry with 1/4 c almonds.
Step #9 Fold honeyed half over almonds, like closing a book.
Step #10 Sprinkle top top of pastry with flour & roll back out into a rectangle about 2/3 the size of the one you began with.
Step #11 Drizzle or spoon another 1/4 c honey over entire pastry, sprinkle half with another 1/4 c very finely sliced almonds, & fold honeyed half over.
Step #12 Roll with the pin a few times to seal.
Step #13 With a sharp knife, cut pastry lengthwise into 1/3-in.
Step #14 -wide strips.
Step #15 Twist each strip loosely a couple of times & put on an ungreased baking sheet (push ends onto sheet to keep straw from untwisting; you may need 2 sheets).
Step #16 Put straws in freezer for 20 mins so they firm up, then dab tops of strips lightly with egg wash & sprinkle with sugar.
Step #17 Bake straws until medium golden brown, 12 to 15 mins.
Step #18 Let cool 1 min, then loosen carefully from sheet with spatula.
Step #19 Serve warm or cool.
Step #20 Note: Nutritional analysis is per straw.
