__________
1/2 c Butter -- softened
1 c Flour
2 tb Water
_____Pastry Top_____________
________
1/2 c Butter
1 c Water
1 c Flour
1 ts Almond Extract
3 Whole Eggs

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Prepare pastry base: Cut butter into flour until it resembles coarse
crumbs. Sprinkle water over mixture, and mix well. Shape dough into a
ball; divide ball in 1/2. Pat each half into a 12x13" strip on an
ungreased baking sheet (place strips 3" apart). Set aside.

saucepan. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the flour and extract. Stir
vigorously and cook over low heat until mixture forms a ball (about 1
minute). Remove from heat. Add eggs, and beat until smooth and glossy.
Divide topping in 1/2, and spread over prepared dough strips (pastry base).

4. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour, or until the top is crisp and
slightly browned.

5. When cooled, drizzle with a thin glaze of powdered sugar mixed with
milk or water. Sprinkle lightly with chopped nuts.
