Frangipane

Place in a saucepan four egg yolks, two ounces sifted flour, half pint cold milk, two ounces granulated sugar and one ounce good butter. Sharply mix with a whisk for two minutes. Set on the fire, and as soon as it comes to a boil place in a bowl and let cool off. Add two ounces peeled and finely chopped almonds and a tablespoon orange-flower water. Arrange a thin layer of feuilletage, to entirely cover a pie plate, neatly press around the edges, trim off any superfluous paste, lightly wet the edges. Cut out a round piece feuilletage half an inch wide and place it all around the edges of the pie plate; lightly egg the border; pour the preparation in the centre of the plate, spread well, make a few light incisions around the ring, then set to bake in the oven for twenty-five minutes. Remove, dredge a little powdered sugar over and serve.
