1 c. butter
2 c. flour
1 c. and 2 tbsp. water
1 tsp. lemon or almond extract
3 eggs
Icing and nuts

Cut 1/2 cup butter into 1 cup flour. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons water and stir with fork until mixture forms a ball. Divide into two parts. Spread into two strips, 12x3 inches on an ungreased baking sheet 3 inches apart.

Bring remaining water and butter to rolling boil in large saucepan. Remove from heat and add flour, stirring vigorously until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, stirring until smooth after each addition. Add 1 teaspoon flavoring. Mix well.

Divide in half and spread evenly over the two strips of batter.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Crust will be brown. Spread with powdered sugar icing when cool and sprinkle generously with chopped nuts.

Note: This can be cut in half but never doubled.
