My sister got the following while exchanging recipes before a Weight
Watcher's meeting. It's as delicious as it is fattening.

Almond Pastry
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tbls. water
Cut the butter into the flour until mixture is crumbly. Mix in water, a
tablespoon at a time. If mixture is dry, add a teaspoon more water. On
ungreased cookie sheet, form mixture into two strips, each approximately
4" x 12".
1/2 cup butter
1 cup water
2 tsp. almond extract
1 cup flour
3 eggs
Heat butter and water to a rolling boil. Remove from heat. Add extract
and flour; stir until smooth. Stir in eggs, one at a time. Spread bat-
ter onto strips (above). Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until
golden brown. [It tastes much better undercooked than overcooked, so I
always check it after 30 minutes.] Cool completely [unless you *want*
the frosting to melt].
1/2 cup butter (softened)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 pinch salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
Sliced almonds (1 cup?)
Mix all ingredients except almonds until smooth. Spread on cooled strips.
Sprinkle with sliced almonds. Enjoy!
