This is a fairly inexpensive recipe I love to bring to Pot Lucks. I always get compliments.

It makes 2 so it's nice because you can leave one home for the family if you don't expect a large crowd. Very easy to make but seems as if you spent a lot of time.

Ingredients

Dough:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine
  • 2 cups of water + 2 Tbsp.
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp. almond or butter flavoring or extract
Icing:
  • 2 cups confectionery sugar
  • 1 tsp. almond extract

Directions

Step 1: Mix to a fine meal; 1 cup flour, 1 stick margarine or butter, 2 Tbsp. water. Divide in half and place on cookie sheet and spread each out to 3x12 inches.

Step 2: Bring to a boil; 1 cup water, 1 stick butter or margarine, add 1 tsp. almond extract, remove from heat, add 1 cup flour (all at once), mix well. Add 3 eggs, one at a time, mix well. Spread over step one, bring over edges.

Bake 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Open oven during baking at your own risk, it may fall.

For Icing: Add desired amount of milk. Top with cherries, almonds or chopped walnuts. Ice while pastry is still warm.

Me again......it just occurred to me that there is no sugar in the filling. Is that right, April? Just the confect. sugar in the icing on top?

April, should the directions in Step 2 read to boil the "2 cups of water?" I can't seem to come up with where that extra cup of water goes? (Or should the top Dough listing say 1 cup of water + 2 Tbsp. Thanks, I'm so anxious to try this!

I have that recipe and I made it so often when my kids were young. My recipe calls for apples with the brown sugar. You should try it, makes it really good and a little more nutritious.
