Ingredients
1 lb salted butter (I'd like to hear if if works with unsalted)1 cup water4 cups flour1 lb almond paste (grated)3 large eggs (beaten)2 cups sugar
Dough: Mix butter, water & flour together. Refrigerate overnight so dough is firm.
Prepare filling by grating almond paste, and mixing that with 3 beaten eggs and 2 cups sugar. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Next Day
Preheat oven to 400-425.
Divide dough equally into 8 parts. Roll out each part into roughly 14x5 inch rectangles. Wet short ends of rectangle and flip over filling. Wet all the remaining edges and roll loosely to seal into a banket stick. Brush tops with beaten egg white. Prick with fork every inch.
Bake 3 at a time on greased jelly roll pan for 20-30 minutes. Watch carefully so that it doesn't get too brown.
Allow to cool. If some of the filling has bubbled out take spoon and remove (throw away or eat it!).
Cut into 1 inch pieces, and enjoy!
