1/4 c Almonds; shelled
1/4 c Sugar, caster
1 ts Distilled rose water
2 g Eggs. large

Heat the oven to 400 degress. Dice the butter and barely melt it in a small
saucepan over low heat. Away from the heat, add the sugar and then stir in
the ground almonds(which can be ground in the food processor.), the
rosewater and the lightly beaten eggs in that order. Tip the chilled
