Ingredients
  • Crust:
  • 1 c flour
  • ½ c butter
  • 1 T water
  • Filling:
  • 1 c water
  • ½ c butter
  • 1 c flour
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ t almond extract
  • Glaze:
  • 1 T butter, softened
  • 1 c powdered sugar
  • ½ t almond extract
  • Milk or cream
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, pulse flour and butter until resembles coarse sand. Add water and pulse until dough just comes together.
  3. Press onto baking sheet in 2 long strips, 3 inches wide.
  4. In a saucepan, heat water and butter to boiling. As you take from the stove, immediately, add flour and stir until smooth. Stir in eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in almond extract.
  5. Spread filling evenly over both crusts.
  6. Bake 55-60 minutes, checking after 50, until lightly golden and little cracks form.
  7. Cool completely.
  8. Whisk together glaze ingredients in a small bowl, adding just enough milk or cream to get a glaze that won’t run off when poured over the pastry. Start one tablespoon at a time.
  9. Allow glaze to set for an hour before cutting.
