Norwegian Coffee Cake

LAYER ONE

• One half cup margarine
• One cup flour
• 3 Tablespoons water

Mix above like pie crust – press in bottom of cookie sheet.

This will be very thick. If mixture sticks to hands, wash your hands with very warm water prior to pressing it into pan. Mixture sticks less with warm hands

LAYER TWO

Heat to boiling: One half cup margarine and one cup water

Add one cup flour and stir well. Add three eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Spread over first layer with spatula and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes. It will puff up very unevenly as it bakes (this is expected). It will also collapse as it cools. This is also expected.

LAYER THREE

Frost after cooled with thin butter frosting

Ingredients for frosting:

• One half cup butter
• Powdered sugar
• Milk (scant amount)
• One half teaspoon vanilla

Mix to desired consistency (May add almond or lemon extract if desired)
