  2. Add the butter and milk.

  3. Knead into a firm ball of dough.

  4. Start using ¼ cup + 1 ½ tsp of milk, if your dough is too stiff can add more milk.

  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap.

  6. Refrigerate overnight, process.

  7. Bake it right away, but your flavor will be much if you let it rest.

  8. Mix your almond paste using half of the beaten egg.

  9. Knead well.

  14. Place in a baking pan lined using parchment paper.
