Directions:
To make the pastry, stir together the flour, sugar and salt. Cut in chilled butter until mixture has texture of cornmeal. Add cold water and mix until pastry holds together in a ball. Press pastry into bottom of 9" x 13" pan.

For the filling, combine water and butter in heavy saucepan. Heat until butter melts and then bring to full rolling boil over high heat. Add the flour all at once. Remove from heat and stir vigorously until mixture becomes a very thick paste that clings together and comes away from sides of pan. Stir in eggs, one at a time, and beat with a spoon until paste is smooth and shiny. Spread the paste over pastry base and bake at 425 degrees for 35 minutes.

For the glaze, combine sugar, milk and almond extract. Beat until smooth. While pastry is warm, drizzle with glaze and sprinkle with almond slices.
