Ingredients

How to make it

  • Heat oven to 350. Cut 1/2 cup butter into 1 cup flour. Sprinkle 2 tbsp. water over mixture; mix with fork. Round into ball; divide in half. On ungreased baking sheet, pat each half into a strip, 12 by 3 inches. Strips should be about 3 inches apart.

  • Beat in eggs, all at one time, until smooth. Divide in half; spread each half evenly over strips, covering completely. Bake about 60 minutes or until topping is crisp & brown. Cool. Frost with Confectioners' Sugar Glaze & sprinkle generously with nuts.
  • CONFECTIONERS' SUGAR GLAZE Mix 1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, 2 tbsp. butter,(softened), 1 to 1 1/2 tsp. almond extract or 1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla & 1 to 2 tbsp. Warm water until smooth.

    This was awesome! Mine looked over done at 45 min. so I pulled it out of the oven. The ends were perfectly baked, but the center did was dense and doughy. I think next time I will make 4 -- 6 x 3 inch pieces to ensure even baking. I used fresh farm eggs. The bright orange yolks give the pastry a very "eggy" color.

    This is great!! I wasn't sure about it while it was baking because the top layer puffed up and looked like it was floating on the bottom layer but when removed from the oven it deflated and came together looking right. The pastry part is not sweet at all so don't be afraid to be generous with the glaze. The bottom layer is light and flaky like pie crust and the top layer somewhat softer and creamy (maybe I need to bake it more?) with a slight eggy/custard taste. I may add more Almond extract next time to both the top layer and glaze.
