Betty’s Danish Puff Pastry
Hi, I am Betty’s oldest daughter, and since my daughters have gotten interested in Mom’s recipe book, I thought for our 40th Anniversary I would make these for the kids.
As our oldest grandson Cody observed, mom’s cursive is something to read. So here is the recipe.
mix like a crust:
1 cup of flour
1 stick of butter
add 2 tbsp of cold water and mix. Split it in 2 parts and put on a cookie sheet. It takes 2 recipes for a large cookie sheet as we normally use.
1 cup of boiling water
1 stick of butter
1 tsp of almond extract
Bring to a boil, add 1 cup of flour and cook unitl it does not stick to the side of the pan. Remove from the heat and add 3 eggs, 1 at a time beating well. Spread on top of crust mixture. Bake at 425 for 50 minutes. However, when I did it, it took about 35 minutes. Mom’s oven must have baked more slowly. Frost while warm with a powdered sugar frosting. I really like the powedered sugar and cream cheese and butter frosting.
I hope you enjoy- Mom, you would love this, our grandson has asked for a copy of your cookbook, and also that I make this for his baseball team.
