1/2 c. butter
1 c. flour
2 tbsp. water
1/2 c. butter
1 c. water
1 tsp. almond slivers
1 c. flour
3 eggs

In a bowl cut 1/2 cup butter into 1 cup flour. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons water and fix with fork. Divide into 2 balls. Roll out to a 12 x 3 inch strip and place on ungreased cookie sheet (both strips will fit on 1 cookie sheet). Mix 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup of water and bring to a rolling boil. Add almond slivers and remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup flour immediately to help from lumping. Mix well and when it's smooth and thick, add eggs one at a time, beating again until smooth. Divide in half and pour - spread the mixture evenly over the two strips. Bake until topping is crisp and brown at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Frost with a glaze and chopped nuts.
