Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour , plus
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp almond extract (optional)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 5 tbsp milk

  2. Stir together the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Place 1 cup butter with the water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat, and set aside to cool.
