      Title: Almond Puff
 Categories: Desserts
      Yield: 10 Servings
 
      1 c  Butter
      1 tb Butter
      2 c  Flour -- sifted
      2 tb Almond extract
      3    Eggs
      2 c  Confectioner's sugar
      1 c  Sliced almonds
 
  Cut 1/2 cup butter into 1 cup flour until mixture resembles coarse
  meal; add 2 tb cold water and mix with a fork until well-blended.
  Divide dough in half. Squeeze each roll between your hands until
  you form a 8 to 10" "snake". Place "snakes" on an ungreased cookie
  sheet and pat into 2 rectangles about 2 to 3" wide and the width of
  the cookie sheet.
  
  Place 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan. Bring to a
  boil and remove from heat. Add 1 tb almond flavoring. Stir in 1 cup
  flour. Add eggs, one at a time mixing until each one is mixed in
  well. Spread over pastry rectangles, smoothing the top.
  
  Bake at 400°F for 45 minutes. Allow to cool.
  
  Combine 1 tb butter with confectioner's sugar, 1 tb almond
  flavoring and enough warm water to make spreadable. Frost pastry
  and sprinkle with sliced almonds (lots!). Cut into slices.
