BANKET (ALMOND ROLL)
This is my husbands trademark recipe! He immigrated to the US after we married (from Holland) and 'brought to here' some of his most loved recipes from back home that he wasnted to continue to make here. This is one of his (and my) favorites. Keep in mind that it's a very sweet almond roll... so you don't want to take HUGE pieces when slicing. It's really good with a nice hot cup of coffee! It also makes quite a bit, so we enjoy making it around the holidays and giving a few of the 'rolls' to family! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your banket. Make sure to use fresh, high-quality butter, flour, and sugar.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter, more tender banket.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Add the flour and salt and mix until just combined: Do not overmix, as this will toughen the banket.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out: This will help to make the dough easier to work with and prevent it from sticking to your hands.
- When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and roll it out evenly: If you roll the dough too thickly, it will be difficult to cook through. If you roll it out too thinly, it will be too delicate and may tear.
- Bake the banket in a preheated moderate oven until golden brown.
