Heat oven to 350 degrees. Measure 1 cup flour into bowl; cut in 1/2 cup butter. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons water over mixture; mix with fork. Round into ball; divide in half. On greased baking sheet, pat each half into strips, 12 x 3 inches, 3 inches apart.

In saucepan combine 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup water; heat to boiling. Remove from heat; stir in almond extract. Beat in 1 cup flour, stirring quickly to keep from lumping.

Frost and sprinkle with nuts.
