Danish Puff

We've been making this every Christmas for years.  The recipe I am copying this from is stained, bunny-nibbled, and has the high-school version of my name on top.

Cut together:

• 1/2 C butter
• 1 C flour.

Add:

• 2 T water.

Round into two balls; pat each into long narrow strips on a cookie sheet.

In a saucepan, melt together and bring to a boil:

• 1/2 C butter
• 1 C water

Remove from heat, then add:

• 1 t almond
• 1 C flour, added all at once. 

Add and beat in

• 1 egg

Add and beat in

• 1 egg

Add and beat in

• 1 egg

When smooth, spread on top of the pastry.

Bake at 350 for 60 minutes.  Let cool, or freeze.  Frost with almond butter-cream frosting and top with sliced almonds.

 This is an essential part of our Christmas morning breakfast.
