ALMOND DANISH 
1 c. flour
1/2 c. butter
2 tbsp. water
1/2 c. butter
1 c. water
1 tsp. almond flavoring
1 c. flour
3 eggs

In a bowl put 1 cup flour and cut in 1/2 cup butter. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons water over flour mixture and mix with a fork. Form into a ball and divide in 2. Pat with fingertips into 2 (12 x 3 inch) wide strips on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Next bring 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and add almond flavoring. Beat in 1 cup flour, stirring quickly to prevent lumping. When smooth, add eggs, 1 at a time. Beat until smooth and shiny. Spread this topping mixture over the strips and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

FROST WITH ICING:

1 c. confectioners' sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
A couple of tsp. milk

Mix together using enough milk to make it easy to spread. Spread on Danish and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
