Gluten Free Almond Danish

This is one that I tried before I got my final diagnosis, and before I started pondering a gluten-free blog.  I think in the future I'll try to take pictures of the process, but this time all you get is the final product!

The development of this recipe came from the recollection that the dough resembled that of cream puffs.  I whipped out my trusty search engine and began looking for a gluten free cream puff recipe.  I knew that the best gluten free flour mixes contain 1 part flour and 1 part starch.  I also knew that ready made gluten free "all purpose" mixes really didn't do the trick.  Why?!?  No GF flour mix is truly "all purpose" because every type of flour has a different property.  The goal is to find the right balance between these properties for the type of dough you are creating.  A cream puff dough has a different consistency than a bread dough or a muffin dough, and so on.  Once I found a combination that seemed about right, I substituted it into a pre-existing recipe from Taste of Home.  (link further down)  And voila!  I burnt those toasted almonds a little...  too much multi-tasking in the kitchen for me!
