1 cup of flour (I use a little bit (maybe a 1/2 cup) of almond flour too)
1/2 cup of butter
2 Tbsp. water
1/2 cup of butter
1 cup of water
1 tsp. almond flavoring
1 cup flour
3 eggs
Heat oven to 350. Measure 1st cup of flour into bowl. Cut in butter. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp water; mix with a fork. Round into ball; *then you can kindof do what you want. Make 2 strips, or a big round circle, etc.
Mix second amount of butter and water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat; add flavoring. Beat in flour, stirring quickly to prevent lumping. When smooth, add one egg at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth. Spread over evenly over pastries (in whatever form you have them; 2 strips or circle, etc.). Bake about 60 min. (Puff has a tendency to shrink while cooling, leaving a custardy portion in the center). Frost with a confectioners’ sugar icing and sprinkle with chopped nuts (or without the nuts).
Confectioners’ Sugar Icing:
Some powdered sugar (Maybe a cup or 2) – it doesn’t need to be sifted, but makes a smoother icing if it is.
A tiny amount of milk (1 or 2 tsp at a time, until it’s the right consistency)
A little bit (maybe a tsp?) almond or vanilla extract. (I always use almond)
