ALMOND PUFF LOAF
The recipe for this buttery, tender confection had been around for years and years but, like all fine classics, its beauty never fades. It's incredibly easy to make, yet taste and looks as though a professionally trained pastry chef might have labored over it for hours. Hey, a little subterfuge never hurts any bakers' reputation.-Taste of Home Cooking School

Add flour all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Transfer to a small mixing bowl; beat at medium speed for 30-60 seconds. , Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny. Beat in extract. With a spatula, spread half over one pastry strip until the surface is completely covered.

Spread warm pastries with jam; sprinkle with almonds. , For icing, combine the sugar, vanilla and enough milk or water to achieve drizzling consistency. Drizzle over pastries.
