| 1. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. | 2. Add egg yolk and orange zest. | 3. Add flour, don't over mix. If the dough is too crumbly, add a little water. | 4. Chill the dough until firm enough to roll out. | 5. Combine prepared almond paste with egg white. | 6. If the paste is too hard to mix, grate it into the egg white and add enough water to achieve a spreadable consistency. | 7. After the dough is chilled, roll out dough nice and thin. | 8. Cut the dough into 3-inch strips. Gather extra dough, repeat until dough is used up. | 9. Spread almond paste mixture on dough, leaving 1/4-inch free at the top edge. Gently roll up the dough, and place on a cookie sheet, refrigerating until firm. | 10. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove chilled dough from the refrigerator. Slice roll into 2-inch pieces, and arrange these on the cookie sheet, leaving a little room for spreading. | 11. Slice each 2-inch roll every 1/4-inch or so from the top down leaving about a 1/4-inch uncut at the bottom. | 12. Gently pull down the ends to form a crown shape. Brush each cookie with an egg wash, and sprinkle with almonds. If you prefer, use pearl sugar, for a glittering effect. | 13. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until pale golden in color, remove and cool. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
