Almond Pastries

3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/2 tablespoon ice water

Filling:
8 oz. (1 cup) almond paste
2 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
1 egg white

GLAZE
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoon milk

Cut butter into flour until butter is the size of split peas. Beat whole egg with the vinegar. Pour mixture over flour and butter; toss with fork to make a dough that holds together. Add tablespoon of ice water. Gather into a ball; cover and chill.

Prepare the filling:
Mix the almond paste with the orange juice and orange rind. Stir in egg white and blend until smooth and paste-like.

Prepare the glaze mixture. Roll out pastry to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into triangles with 4-inch sides. Place a teaspoonful of the filling in center of each pastry triangle. Place on cookie sheet; brush with glaze mixture. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
