Step-by-Step Instructions for White Almond Petit Fours
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour and powdered sugar, then cream in unsalted butter until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the almond extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Line a rectangular baking pan with parchment paper and spread the cake batter evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once your cake is completely cool, carefully remove it from the rack and place it on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the cake into petit four-sized squares, about 1-inch in size.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened butter and powdered sugar, then beat until light and fluffy. Gradually add milk to achieve desired buttercream consistency.
- Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and completely melted. Dip each petit four piece into the white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
- While the white chocolate coating is still soft, delicately press almond slices into the top of each petit four.
- Let the coated petit fours sit at room temperature until the white chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes. Once set, transfer them to a serving platter.
