- PASTRY
- water Few drops Almond extract
- To make pastry, sift flour and salt into a bowl. Add in 1/3 of the butter or possibly margarine and rub in till the mix resembles breadcrumbs. Add in sufficient water to make an elastic dough. Roll out to an oblong on a lightly floured board. Cut the remaining fat into small pcs. Dot 2/3 of the dough with half the fat pcs. Bring up the uncovered dough third and mix in three like an envelope. Turn the pastry so which the open end faces you and roll out again into an oblong. Repeat with the remainig fat, fold and turn. Roll out, fold and chill.
- Roll out the dough till it is wafer thin. Cut out 12-15 circles to line a fairly deep 3" muffin tin. Put a tsp of jam into each tin. Mix together all the remaining filling ingredients, beating well. Spoon into the pastry tins over the jam. Bake in a warm to very warm oven, 450 o - 475 F for 10 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to moderate, 350 o and bake for 15 mins. Allow to cold.
- For the topping, blend the confectioners sugar with sufficient water to make a flowing consistency. Fold in the almond extract. Spoon a little on each little cake and let set to harden.
