Crust: Mix like pie crust. Divide dough into balls and roll into "sausage" shape

Puff: Boil water and butter; add almond extract while boiling. Add 1 cup flour and mix until dough pulls away from the pot

Let dough stand for 5 minutes away from heat. Add eggs one at a time and beat well. Spread dough over crust and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, then at 350 degrees for 30 minutes on top rack of oven.

Frosting: Combine and pour on puff when almost cool. Sprinkle top with almonds.
