How to cook deliciously - Holiday Danish Puffs

1. Stage

Place flour in a small bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each into a 14x2-1/2-in. rectangle. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet; curve 1 end of each pastry to form tops of canes. Refrigerate while preparing topping.

2. Stage

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large saucepan, combine water, butter and salt; bring to a rolling boil. Add flour all at once and beat until blended. Cook over medium heat, stirring vigorously until mixture pulls away from side of pan and forms a ball. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes.

3. Stage

Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth. Add extract; continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny. Spread over pastry dough.

4. Stage

Bake 60-70 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Cool on pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks; cool completely.

5. Stage

In a small bowl, beat confectioners' sugar, butter, water and extract until smooth. Spread over pastries; sprinkle with almonds. Refrigerate leftovers.
