Original Recipe Yield 16 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cold water
FILLING:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
TOPPING:
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

In a bowl, cut butter into the flour until crumbly. Sprinkle with water; toss with a fork until moist enough to shape into a ball. Divide in half. On a floured surface, roll each portion into 1 12-in. x 3-in. rectangle. Place on greased baking sheets.
In a saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour and salt all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Add extract; beat until smooth. Spread over dough. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until puffed and golden brown. Cool on pans for 10 minutes. Combine sugar, butter, water and vanilla until smooth; spread over warm puffs. Sprinkle with almonds. Refrigerate leftovers.
