World Cuisine

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 8 inch round cake pans or 9 inch pie plates.

Step 2

In a large bowl use an electric mixer to beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs reserving just enough to brush over the tops about 1 tablespoon. Stir in the almond extract. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter by hand using a sturdy spoon. The dough will be stiff.

Step 3

Press evenly into the two prepared pans. Press almond halves into the top where each slice would be. Brush the tops with a thin layer of the reserved egg.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Cut into wedges to serve.
