_____
FOR THE SECOND LAYER:
1/2 cups Butter
1 cup Water
1 teaspoon Almond Flavoring
1 cup Flour

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2

For the 1st layer, cut the butter into the flour. Sprinkle in the water and mix to form a smooth dough. Round into a ball, divide into 2 parts. On a greased cooking sheet, pat dough into 2 strips measuring 3 inches by 12 inches. Set aside.
3

For the second layer, place butter and water in a saucepan; bring to a rolling boil. Add the almond flavoring. Romove from heat, add the flour, stirring quickly until it forms a soft ball. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Spread half of the mixture over each pastry strip. Bake 60 minuters until crisp and golden brown. Cool and frost.
4

To make the icing, mix the powdered sugar, soft butter, and almond flavoring. Add enough milk or cream to spread. Frost pastries.
5

Sprinkle wit slivered or sliced almonds. I sometimes decorate them with marichino cherries for a more festive look.
