Tea Pretzels

== Ingredients ==
* ⅓ cup of butter
* ¼ cup of sugar
* 1 egg
* 1½ pastry flour
* 1 egg (for wash)
* a little milk
* almonds, blanched and sliced
== Directions ==
# First beat butter to a cream; gradually beat in sugar, then egg, beaten without separating the white and yolk, and pastry flour.
# Cover the dough and let it remain in a cool place for one hour.
# Break off small pieces of the dough, knead to a smooth mass, then roll under the hands to the shape of a bread stick, about as thick as a round lead pencil; bring the ends towards the middle of the dough, pressing them onto it about an inch apart, forming two rings, then set on a baking tin, one ring overlapping the other.
# Brush with a beaten egg, diluted with a little milk, and press blanched-and-sliced almonds onto the dough.
# Bake in a moderate oven.
