Ingredients:  
Pastry:
1 lb. butter, cold and diced
4 c. flour
1 c. ice cold water
1/2 t. salt
Filling:
3 eggs - beaten (save 1 egg white for top)
1 lb. almond paste, grated
2 c. sugar
1 t. real vanilla extract
Directions:
Directions:
For pastry: Blend butter, salt & flour well with mixer. Gradually add cold water until dough is a wet ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Divide into 8 equal parts and keep cold.
For filling: Mix eggs, almond paste, sugar and vanilla well. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Divide into 8 equal parts.
Roll out dough into long rectangular shapes. I've been told the secret to flaky pastry is to roll out, fold in each end to the middle, rotate dough, and roll out again. Place filling down center of dough, about the thickness of your thumb. Roll tight, fold each end in and seal with your fingers dipped in cold water so filling does not come out during baking.
Place 4 sticks on large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mat. Brush tops with egg white and sprinkle with sugar (optional).
Bake 425º for 10 minutes, then reduce to 350º and bake 15-20 minutes more until golden brown.
