KRINGLA (DANISH PUFF PASTRY)
Another of my mom's specialties - this makes a very flaky pastry that comes apart in your mouth. Not exactly low-fat, but one can't have everything. Light enough for summer, but rich enough for winter.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. To make the crust, cut the butter into the flour. Sprinkle with water and form into a dough. Shape into two 3" by 12" strips on an ungreased baking sheet.
- To make the topping, heat the butter and water to a full rolling boil in a saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in flour and almond extract. Return to low heat and stir vigorously until it forms a ball (about 1 minute). Remove from heat and beat in eggs.
- Divide the topping in half and spread over crusts. Bake for 1 hour until brown and crispy.
- While the kringla is baking, make the icing. Sift the powdered sugar. Stir in milk and vanilla until smooth.
- After the pastries have cooled, top with the icing and let it set. When the icing has set, cut into strips.
