INSTRUCTIONS
MAIDS OF HONOUR PASTRY water Few drops Almond extract To make
pastry, sift flour and salt into a bowl. Add 1/3 of the butter or
margarine and rub in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add
enough water to make an elastic dough. Roll out to an oblong on a
lightly floured board. Cut the remaining fat into small pieces. Dot
2/3 of the dough with half the fat pieces. Bring up the uncovered
dough third and fold in three like an envelope. Turn the pastry so
that the open end faces you and roll out again into an oblong. Repeat
with the remainig fat, fold and turn. Roll out, fold and chill. Roll
out the dough until it is wafer thin. Cut out 12-15 circles to line a
fairly deep 3" muffin tin. Put a tsp of jam into each tin. Mix
together all the remaining filling ingredients, beating well. Spoon
into the pastry tins over the jam. Bake in a hot to very hot oven, 450
o - 475o F for 10 min. Reduce oven temperature to moderate, 350 o and
bake for 15 mins. Allow to cool. For the topping, blend the
confectioners sugar with enough water to make a flowing consistency.
Mix in the almond extract. Spoon a little on each little cake and let
set to harden. Makes 12-15 From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster
