1/3 cup butter, chilled
1 cup sifted all purpose flour
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon cream
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
egg white, slighly beaten

1. Cut butter into flour until particles are the size of rice kernels
2. Beat egg yolks, cream and extract until very thick. Using a fork, blend
into flour mixture in halves, mixing well after each addition.  Chill dough
thoroughly.
3. Roll dough 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface; fold lengthwise in half,
then cross-wise in half; chill one hour. 4. Again, roll dough 1/4 inch
