2½ cup Pillsbury's Best All-Purpose Flour, sifted
½ teaspoon French's cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Salt
¾ cup Butter
⅔ cup Sugar
1 Egg; unbeaten
1 teaspoon French's Almond Extract
1½ cup Prepared mincemeat
⅓ cup Funsten's Blanched Almonds

Directions

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes. Makes about 2 dozen bars. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, and salt. Cream butter and sugar, creaming well. Blend in egg (reserve 1 tablespoon egg white for top) and almond extract. Beat well. Stir in the dry ingredients; mix thoroughly. Roll out half of dough on greased baking sheet to a 10 x 8-inch rectangle. (Baking sheet will not slip if placed on damp cloth.) Spread with prepared mincemeat. Roll out remaining dough between sheets of waxed paper to a 10x8-inch rectangle. Remove top sheet; invert dough over mincemeat. Remove paper. Brush with egg white, slightly beaten. Sprinkle with almonds, chopped, if desired. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) 25 to 35 minutes until light golden brown. Cool and cut into bars. *Pillsbury's Best Self-Rising Flour is not recommended for use in this recipe.
