Almond pastries with caramel are a refined treat from Russian cuisine that combines the crunchiness of shortcrust pastry, the sweetness of caramel, and the aroma of almonds. This dessert resembles traditional Russian sweets where the harmony of flavors plays a key role. The pastries are made by wrapping a sugar mixture in dough, giving them a unique texture, and then rolling them in a fragrant almond-sugar layer for an unforgettable taste and light crunchiness. When warm, they emit a cozy scent of cinnamon that perfectly complements the sweet caramel note. These pastries are a wonderful choice for tea time; they not only delight the palate but also create an atmosphere of homey comfort. They can be served with aromatic black tea or coffee to enhance their rich flavor.
