melt butter and let col to 110. Dissolve yeast in water, then stir in the 1/4 sugar, egg yolks (reserve whites), salt, evaporated milk and cooled butter. Stir in the flour and mix well. Cover an chill at least 24 hours (up to 3 days).
Meanwhile, prepare and chill the almond filling. To shape bear claws, roll out dough into a 13 1/2-by 27-inch rectangle on a well-floured board, straightening edges with a ruler as you roll. cut dough lengthwise into 3 long strips (4 1/2" wide). Divide almond filling into 3 portions and roll into 27" rope. Lay one rope in center of each dough strip and flatten slightly.
Fold long sides of each strip over filling overlapping slightly. Cut each into 6 segments, each 4 1/2". Arrange the 18 segments, seam side down on greased baking sheets. with floured sharp knife, make row of cuts halfway across each segment about 1/2" apart. Curve claw so it fans out.
Lightly beat the remaining 1 egg white, brush over claws; top with sliced almonds and sprinkle with sugar. Let rise, uncovered until puffy (20 minutes).
Bake in 375 oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool

  • Almond filling: Smoothly blend together 1/2 butter (at room temp) with 1 1/3 cups unsifted powdered sugar. Add 2/3 cup all-purpose flour and 77-8 oz almond paste.
