Danish Puff (Elsie)

1    cup flour
1/2 cup butter or marg.
2    Tbsp water
Cut marg. into flour until fine. Add water and mix well. Round into ball and divide in half.
Pat each half into approx. 12" x 3" strip on ungreased cookie sheet. Set aside.

1/2 cup butter or marg.
1    cup water
1    cup flour
3    eggs
1    tsp almond flavouring (extract)
Bring marg. and water to a boil. Remove from heat. Add almond flavouring. Beat in flour all at once until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating until smooth after each egg. Spread equally over each pastry strip.
Bake @ 375 for 45 minutes.
When cool frost thinly with butter cream icing.
Note
I add about 1 tsp of almond flavouring to icing.
I  add a few sliced fresh unsugared strawberries on top just before serving for something different.
