Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Turn off the heat and let cool slightly, then add the brown sugar, almond and vanilla extracts and stir until smooth. Stir in the beaten egg.

Pour the batter into a greased 8" square baking dish and bake at 350º until set around the edges but still loose in the center, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely, then sift powdered sugar on top.
