BANKET 
4 c. sifted flour
1 lb. butter (or 1/2 butter, 1/2 butter)
1 c. ice water

Blend in bowl like pie crust. Refrigerate overnight.

FILLING:

1 lb. almond paste, crumbled
2 eggs, plus 1 yolk
1 c. powdered sugar
1 c. reg. sugar
1 tsp. lemon extract

Gradually add eggs and yolk to almond paste. Add sugars and extract. Refrigerate overnight.

Divide dough in 8 equal parts and roll each part on floured board, 4 inches wide by 12 inches or more. Put filling on dough to about the size of a dime. Fold crust over both sides like a pig in a blanket. Brush the top of the roll with beaten egg white. Prick holes on top and bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, then turn oven down to 400 degrees for 12 minutes.
