Method

Make the almond cream by processing the almonds with the sugar. Melt the butter and mix with the ground almond mixture, the eggs and the drops of bitter almond essence.
Roll out the pastry into two circles. Spread one of them with the almond cream leaving a 1 cm margin around the edge, brush the edge with egg yolk, and cover and seal with the second pastry disk
