INGREDIENTS:
2 c. butter
4 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
3/4 c. ice water
1 tbsp. almond extract
DIRECTIONS:
Cream 1 cup butter. Add flour and salt and mix until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Dissolve soda in water and stir into flour mixture. Blend in almond extract. Cover dough and chill thoroughly. Roll out on a lightly floured surface in a rectangular shape about 1/8 inch thick. Spread half of dough with 1/2 cup soft butter, fold over and chill in refrigerator 15 minutes.

Place 1 teaspoon of prune filling in center of each square. Bring alternate corners together in center, forming pinwheels. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets in hot oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
