the results are always impressive.

2. Preparation Instructions
1. Spread the dough to about 1/5 inch thickness. Cut into
round discs.
2. Brush the pan with butter and place the cut dough on the
round baking pan or pie pan and press gently but firmly for
the dough to adhere to the bottom.
3. Fill the pastry with fresh strawberries cut into quarters.
Sprinkle minced almonds over the top and cover with
powdered sugar with the help of a sieve.
4. Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment
paper and bake in 400 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes
or until the pastry is browned and the sugar has
crystallized.
