This recipe has been a tradition in our home for many years. The tradition for us has been to
make these with the intent to keep one for our enjoyment and to share one with our neighbors.
Most times we will make this recipe at least double as we love to share these family favorite
sweet treats with everyone around us! It’s also been a hit at holiday parties and events. Shareable
and festive. Enjoy!
Ingredients / Directions
Crust
1 cup Flour
1 stick Butter
2 tbs Water
Blend together in a bowl. Pat into two strips about 12 inches long and 3 to 4 inches wide on a
cookie sheet approximately an inch apart. These will expand a little, so space them apart. (No
need to grease/prepare cookie sheet.)
Filling
1 stick Butter (½ cup)
1 cup Water
1 tsp Almond extract
1 cup Flour
3 Eggs
Mix butter and water in sauce pan, bring to a full boil. Remove from heat, add almond extract
and flour. Stir quickly or with electric mixer to prevent lumps. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well
after each egg. Spread mixture on crust. Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes.
Glaze
1 cup Powdered sugar
2 tbs Milk
1 tsp Almond extract
Green and red maraschino cherries for decorating
Slivered or sliced almonds
Mix together the powdered sugar, milk and almond extract to get a glaze consistency. Set aside
until your Danish puff is cool to the touch. Garnish with cherries and slivered almonds.
