| 1. Take the first 3 ingredients only: 4 ounces butter, 1 cup flour, and 2 tablespoons water; rub the butter into the flour; add the water. You will have a soft and slightly sticky ball. | 2. Spread this mixture out onto an unbuttered baking tray (cookie sheet) to an approximate 5 to 7 mm thickness. | 3. This recipe makes one tray size pastry that you cut into slices afterwards, rather than individual pastries that I now understand Americans might be used to. | 4. Take the second quantity of butter and water: 4 ounces butter, 1 cup water; put into a saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. | 5. Take off the heat, mix in all the second quantity of flour (1 cup) all at once. | 6. Stir until you have a smooth ball. I use a whisk for this and the following step as it goes much faster than with a wooden spoon. | 7. Add the almond essence and all the eggs at once and stir until your mixture is a smooth glossy paste. | 8. Spread the second mixture evenly over the first mixture. | 9. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for approximately 45 minutes or until light golden brown and topping is a little bit crisp. | 10. Cool. | 11. Glaze with icing. Spread icing over Danish and sprinkle with nuts or other decoration etc. as preferred. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
