Ingredients | French Pastry Puffy Bread

½ cup butter

1 cup all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon butter flavored extract

2 tablespoons water

1 cup water

½ cup butter

¼ teaspoon butter flavored extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

3 eggs

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 cup confectioners' sugar

½ teaspoon almond extract

¼ teaspoon butter flavored extract

1 tablespoon milk

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cut 1/2 cup butter into 1 cup flour with a knife or pastry blender in a bowl until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon butter extract. Add the water a tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until the flour mixture is moistened. Press mixture onto the bottom of a 10x13-inch baking sheet.

Bring 1 cup water, 1/2 cup butter, and 1/2 teaspoon butter extract to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat, then beat in 1 cup flour. Beat in eggs one at a time until blended. Stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract, and pour over crust.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 55 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the confectioners' sugar, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, 1/4 teaspoon butter extract, and 1 tablespoon milk in a bowl until smooth. Spread mixture over the hot pastry.
