Almond Puff Pastries

1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, separated
1 tablespoon water
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped
Confectioners' sugar

Unfold pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into nine
3-in. squares. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets; set aside. In a small
bowl, beat egg yolk and water; brush over pastry squares. In another bowl, beat
egg white; add almonds and sugar. Spread over each square. Bake at 375°
for 20-25 minutes or until well puffed and browned. Cool completely on wire
racks. Split pastries in half horizontally. Fill with whipped cream; replace
tops. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.

Yield: 18 servings.
