1/4	cup	butter	or margarine, lightly salted, at room temperature
1/3	cup	sugar	granulated

2	teaspoons	milk	mixed with 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Directions

Beat the egg in a medium-sized bowl.

Add the almonds, butter, sugar, almond extract, sherry, and cardamom.

Mix well.

Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

Roll out the Sweet Dough to a rectangle 12 x 18 inches.

Spread the almond filling evenly over the dough, leaving 2 inches along one long side.

Starting from the other long side, roll up the dough like a jelly roll.

Place, seam down, on a lightly greased baking sheet, twist into a circle and pinch the ends to join.

Using scissors, make cuts about three-fourths of the way through the dough at about 1-inch intervals.

Cover and let rise for 20 minutes in a warm place.

Heat the oven to 350F.

Bake the coffee cake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and brush with the milk-sugar mixture.

Cool on a wire rack.

Clams Casino

I've cooked clams in almost every way; chowders, on the 1/2 shell, in sauces, and stuffed. This is first time I tried clams casino. Now I have an additional and extremely tasty way to enjoy these bi-valves. Thank you for the recipe!
