Ingredients
-
For the Base:
1/2 cup Butter, chilled,
1 cup Flour, white,
2 T. Water,
For the Top:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup Water,
1 cup Flour, white
1 t. Almond Extract,
3 Grade A Extra Large White Eggs, beaten
For the Glaze:
1 1/2 cup Confectioner's Sugar,
2 T. Butter, salted
1.5 t. Almond Extract,
2 T. Milk, nonfat,
4 T. Diamond Sliced Almond, toasted
Directions
1. Cut 1/2 cup butter into the flour, as for a pie crust. Add 2T cold water. Mix with a fork and form into a round ball. Refrigerate for easier handling. With floured fingers, shape into a 12x3 inch rectangle on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving 3 inches between the two pieces.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat 1/2 cup butter with 1 cup water to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat, stir in almond extract and one cup flour. Return to heat and cook 1 minute until it forms a ball. Remove from heat again and add the 3 beaten eggs and beat together till smooth. Divide in half and spread over each strip. This topping will not smooth out in the oven so smooth it nicely before baking. Bake at 350F for 55 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crisp. Carefully remove from baking sheet to a cooling rack. Allow to cool and frost with the glaze, and sprinkle with toasted almonds.
3. Cut into 1 inch pieces for 24 servings. These are good size servings and you could actually get 32 pieces for fewer calories per serving.
