Steps:
- 1. Mix crust ingredients as you would pie crust. (This is what the original recipe said but it is kind of like pie crust as the butter is soft.) Press into a pizza pan. Set aside.
- 2. To make puff place 1 c. water and 1/2 c. butter into a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining flour until a thick paste forms. Beat in eggs one at a time until well blended. Add 1 t. almond flavoring.
- 3. Spread puff mixture over crust in the pizza pan. Bake at 350 degrees about 40-45 minutes until puffed and golden.
- 4. Remove from oven and cool. Mix icing by adding remaining almond flavoring to powdered sugar. Add water, a few drops at a time, until icing is smooth and can be drizzled over pastry.
- 5. Drizzle icing over pastry and sprinkle almonds over icing. Cut into squares (I know. Weird. It IS a round pan.) and serve with Swedish coffee. Or any coffee. We just always had Swedish.
- 6. If you like, sprinkle a few well-drained, chopped maraschino cherries on with the almonds.
