K-bs Brunch Pastry – We Love God!

A healthy church has a pervasive concern with church growth – not simply growing numbers but growing members. A church full of growing Christians is the kind of church growth I want as a pastor. Some today seem to think that one can be a “baby Christian” for a whole lifetime. Growth is seen to be an optional extra for particularly zealous disciples. But be very careful about taking that line of thought. Growth is a sign of life. Growing trees are living trees, and growing animals are living animals. When something stops growing, it dies.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare pastry base: Cut butter into
flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle water over mixture,
and mix well.  Shape dough into a ball; divide ball in 1/2. Pat each
half into a 12x13" strip on an ungreased baking sheet (place strips  3"
apart). Set aside. Prepare pastry top: Heat butter and water to a
rapid boil in a medium saucepan.  Remove from heat and quickly stir  in
the flour and extract. Stir vigorously and cook over low heat  until
mixture forms a ball (about 1 minute).  Remove from heat.  Add  eggs,
and beat until smooth and glossy. Divide topping in 1/2, and  spread
over prepared dough strips (pastry base). Bake in a 350 degree  oven
for 1 hour, or until the top is crisp and slightly browned. When
cooled, drizzle with a thin glaze of powdered sugar mixed with milk  or
water. Sprinkle lightly with chopped nuts.  Recipe By     : Karen
