Dear Lord I don’t think I could handle this recipe.

That pic above is home-made?

This looks like something I’d like. I love almonds and this dessert doesn’t look too awful sweet and cloying.

I think I should have to purchase it however as pie crusts and such do not reflect well upon my cooking skills.

In Britain you can buy in the chilled cabinet raw pastry maybe you have similar in the States.

I actually do make my own pastry I have found if I use a food mixer it is quite easy, a trick my mum taught me. I use double in weight flour to fat and then just enough water to bind together. The fat I use is half hard margarine and half white vegetable fat our makes are cooken and trex I believe you call it shortening and your major make is Crisco.

The rest of the recipe is really really easy. My earlier photo was as taken just as I got the tray out of the oven here is plate with cut slices on it.
