Directions
Dough: Sift together flour, ¾ cup sugar, and salt into large bowl.
Cut in butter until particles are fine.
Place beaten egg yolks in measuring glass and add enough water to equal ⅓ cup.
Sprinkle gradually over flour mixture, stirring with fork until dough is moist enough to hold together.
Form into a ball.
Chill while preparing meringue.
Meringue: Beat 2 egg whites with ⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar until soft mounds form.
Gradually add confectioners' sugar; continue beating until stiff.
Stir in vanilla.
Roll out dough on floured surface to 20 x 15-inch rectangle.
Spread with meringue.
Combine 2 teaspoons sugar, cinnamon and almonds.
Sprinkle over meringue.
Press in slightly with spatula. Cut into 3 x 1-inch bars.
Place on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) 10 to 15 minutes until delicately browned.
