Instructions

  1. 1 Combine flour, yeast, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, 3/4 cup milk, and 3 tablespoons butter in a large bowl. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 15 to 20 minutes. Place in a well-greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled.
  2. 2 Punch down dough. Roll out to a 1/2-inch thickness. Spread into a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
  3. 3 Melt 3 tablespoons butter and confectioners' sugar in a saucepan. Add almonds and 1 tablespoon milk. Remove from heat, and stir in honey. Spread evenly and carefully onto dough. Allow dough to rise for an additional 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until crust turns golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. 5 Dissolve cornstarch in a little milk. Combine 1 1/2 cups milk, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon sugar in the top of a double boiler. Heat while stirring until thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place almonds in a food processor. Process to meal-like consistency, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Don't overprocess—mixture should still be crumbly, not paste-like.
  2. 2 Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Start checking temperature with a candy thermometer every minute or so. Continue to cook until it reaches 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) and is a medium-thick syrup, about 6 to 8 minutes longer. Don't overcook syrup, otherwise it will harden when cool.
  3. 3 Remove from the heat and stir in almonds and almond extract. Return to the heat and cook, stirring with a spatula and scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent scorching until almond paste just holds together, 30 to 60 seconds. Do not cook for too long, or it will caramelize.
  4. 4 Remove from the heat and use when cool enough to handle. To refrigerate, wrap in waxed paper in an airtight container and use within a few weeks. To freeze, place wrapped almond paste in a freezer bag and freeze for up to six months.
