Ingredients :

​

Dough 1 :
1 cup Flour
1/2 cup Margarine
2 tbl Water, (or less)

1 tsp Almond extract
1 cup Flour

​

Method :

​

Yield: 2 12-inch pastries, about 10 servings each
* 1. Combine flour and margarine of Dough 1 as for pie dough. Add the water and gather into a ball.
* 2. Divide in 2 and pat each half into a 12x3 strip on a cookie sheet. (It's important to make them 12 inches long and you can put them side by side on the same cookie sheet.)
* 3. In a medium saucepan, heat the margarine and water of Dough 2 and bring to a boil. Add the almond extract and remove from heat.
* 4. Immediately stir in the flour and mix until smooth.
* 5. Add the eggs, one at a time, combining thoroughly after each addition.
* (This is just like a cream puff dough and takes a little muscle to combine.)
* 6. Spread the mixture evenly over each strip. Bake at 350 for 60 minutes.
* 7. When partially cool, drizzle with icing. Add nuts if desired.
