 | | Directions | CRUST:
- Mix ingredients like a pie crust. If dough is too moist to handle, add a little more flour. Start by adding 1 teaspoon of additional flour. Do not add too much.
- Divide the dough in half and pat into two strips on a baking sheet. Pat down to be approximately 3 inches wide and 12 to 13 inches long.
- Set aside to make top layer.
TOP LAYER:
- Heat water and butter to a boil in a heavy saucepan.
- Remove from the heat and beat in flour with a wooden spoon.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, adding 1/2 tsp. of almond extract after each egg. Add 1 tsp. of almond extract after the third egg.
- Beat until satiny and shiny smooth. Spread half of the mixture evenly over each strip of dough. Cover the entire surface of the dough.
- Place in an oven preheated to 375°F for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before frosting.
FROSTING:
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled pastry strips.
- Sprinkle sliced almonds on top of the frosting.
- Cut each strip crosswise into to slices for serving.
