   My sister got the following while exchanging recipes before a Weight
Watcher's meeting.  It's as delicious as it is fattening.

                  Almond Pastry

   1 cup flour
   1/2 cup butter, softened
   2 tbls. water

   Cut the butter into the flour until mixture is crumbly.  Mix in water, a
   tablespoon at a time.  If mixture is dry, add a teaspoon more water.  On
   ungreased cookie sheet, form mixture into two strips, each approximately
   4" x 12".

   1/2 cup butter
   1 cup water
   2 tsp. almond extract
   1 cup flour
   3 eggs

   Heat butter and water to a rolling boil.  Remove from heat.  Add extract
   and flour; stir until smooth.  Stir in eggs, one at a time.  Spread bat-
   ter onto strips (above).   Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until
   golden brown. [It tastes much better undercooked than overcooked, so I
   always check it after 30 minutes.]  Cool completely [unless you *want*
   the frosting to melt].

   1/2 cup butter (softened)
   2 cups powdered sugar
   1 pinch salt
   1 tsp. vanilla
   1 egg
   Sliced almonds (1 cup?)

   Mix all ingredients except almonds until smooth.  Spread on cooled strips.
   Sprinkle with sliced almonds.  Enjoy!
