Steps:
- 1. Crust: Cut 1/2 cup butter into the 1 cup of flour.. to make a coarse mixture. Stir in the cold water. Shape into a ball, divide in half.

- 4. Spread this mixture onto each crust. Bake in a pre-heated oven 375 degrees. About 45 minutes. Until puffed and golden. Remove from oven.
- 5. FROSTING: Blend powdered sugar, salt, almond extract and enough milk to make a good spreading consistency. Frost while slightly warm. Sprinkle with sliced almonds. Cut into slices and serve.
