25 60 85

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons cold water
  • FILLING:
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • TOPPING:
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons water
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

  • In a small bowl, cut butter into the flour until crumbly. Sprinkle with water; toss with a fork until moist enough to shape into a ball. Divide in half. On a floured surface, roll each portion into 1 12-in. x 3-in. rectangle. Place on greased baking sheets.
  • In a large saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour and salt all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Add extract; beat until smooth. Spread over dough.
  • Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until puffed and golden brown. Cool on pans for 10 minutes. Combine the sugar, butter, water and vanilla until smooth; spread over warm puffs. Sprinkle with almonds. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 16 servings.
