Preheat oven 350 degrees
Ingredients:
1 egg
1 cup sugar
2 cups sifted flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup butter (2 sticks) softened
2 tsp Almond extract
Beat egg and sugar. Add flour mixed with baking powder, alternate with butter. Add almond extract.
When thoroughly mixed, place in greased round cake pan, press into shape with a fork. You can top with almond slices if you have them handy or brush with egg white to give it a golden shine. Bake 25-30 minutes or until tooth pick tests done.
You can make it fancy by putting it in a tart pan so you have a nice fluted edge and it will also come out more as a bar.
