Directions
In a bowl, toss butter with 3 cups flour until well coated; refrigerate. In a large bowl, combine yeast and remaining flour.

Place dough onto a well-floured surface; roll into a 21x12-in. rectangle. Starting at a short side, fold dough in thirds, forming a 12x7-in. rectangle. Give dough a quarter turn; roll into a 21x12-in. rectangle. Fold into thirds, starting with a short side. Repeat, flouring surface as needed. (Do not chill dough between each rolling and folding.) Cover and chill for 4 to 24 hours or until firm.
For filling, in a bowl, beat egg white until foamy. Gradually add confectioners' sugar and almond paste; beat until smooth. Cut dough in half widthwise. Roll each portion into a 12-in. square; cut each square into three 12x4-in. strips. Spread about 2 tablespoons filling down center of each strip. Fold long edges together over filling; seal edges and ends. Cut into three pieces.
Place on parchment-lined baking sheets with folded edge facing away from you. With scissors, cut strips 4 times to within 1/2 in. of folded edge; separate slightly. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Lightly beat water and remaining egg; brush over dough. Sprinkle with sugar and almonds. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Tips What can I add to sausage gravy? To add more flavor to your gravy, consider stirring in some fresh herbs like chopped thyme or parsley (learn how to grow fresh herbs!).How can I thicken gravy without flour? Cornstarch and arrowroot are gluten-free thickening agents you can try. They’ll also keep your sauce clear and cloud-free. You’ll need about 1 tablespoon for every cup of liquid in the recipe. To use, mix the agent with equal parts water to create a slurry and pour it into the pot. Whisk continuously over high heat until the agent is well incorporated and the sauce starts to thicken.Can I reheat sausage gravy? Yes, you can reheat sausage gravy. The trick to reheating gravy is to start it at a low temperature, and then whisk vigorously once it comes to a boil to mix the ingredients back together.Can I make this recipe without milk? You can make this breakfast recipe without milk. Try substituting the whole milk with heavy cream or skim milk. Do keep in mind that using a milk alternative may thin out your gravy.
