I have been making this delicious Danish treat since the early 60's! I received this recipe from a close friend when I lived in Racine, Wisc. I always have extra recipe copies ready for my friends after they taste this in my home. Great for coffee clutches, or a breakfast treat for over-night company! I usually put frosting on the top. But this time I only sprinkled powdered sugar on top. Another friend called it a Kringle!.But a Danish Kringle is made with yeast and the normal shape is like a race track. Racine, WI. is famous for them.

How To Make 2 danish almond puffs

Step 1

Crust: Cut 1/2 cup butter into the 1 cup of flour.. to make a coarse mixture. Stir in the cold water. Shape into a ball, divide in half.

Step 2

Put a paper baking sheet onto a cookie sheet. Then pat out each 1/2 into a 3x12 inch oblong crust on the baking sheet. Make a very small ridge all around the crust.
Step 3

FILLING: Into a saucepan put 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup butter. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add almond extract. Quickly stir in the 1 cup of flour. Beat well. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each.
Step 4

Spread this mixture onto each crust. Bake in a pre-heated oven 375 degrees. About 45 minutes. Until puffed and golden. Remove from oven.
Step 5

FROSTING: Blend powdered sugar, salt, almond extract and enough milk to make a good spreading consistency. Frost while slightly warm. Sprinkle with sliced almonds. Cut into slices and serve.
