About the Dish

Buttery Croissants filled with a crunchy candied pecan filling, topped with slivered pralines, and dusted with powdered sugar.

Ingredients

Preheat oven to 375F
In a stand mixer, cream the butter, pecan butter, and sugar until smooth.
Add egg, salt, and pecan extract and mix until incorporated.
At a low speed, slowly pour in the pecan flour and all-purpose flour until a smooth paste forms.
Cut croissants in half and use a spatula to spread 2 Tbsp of the filling on the inside.
Add about half of the sliced candied pecans on top of the filling.
Place the top half back on and spread 1 Tbsp of filling on top of the croissants, place on a baking tray.
Sprinkle evenly with the sliced candied pecans and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the filling is set, and tops are golden brown.
Dust the tops with powdered sugar and serve.
