 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.
