Just made Banket. Had bought plenty of Almond Paste for Christmas baking and had 1 block leftover. Since I gave most of the pre-Christmas Banket away I decided to bake another batch. Arctic cold air past 5 days plus 10+ inches of snow has me cooped in so baking was in order:) I formed my almond filling into a "log" in middle of the rolled rectangle and just roll it up, so all the almond filling is in the middle of the pastry. Wonderful with hot coffee on a cold winter morning!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62998320334149037.post-34575250831274128602012-12-26T11:02:19.442-05:002012-12-26T11:02:19.442-05:00Update: Made the banket and it was even better th...Update: Made the banket and it was even better than I remembered! I used about 2-1/2 eggs for my filling, and used the rest for brushing on top of the roll before baking. It was perfect.

I smiled when I read Grand Rapids, as I grew up there too. I haven't had banket for years, but I guess I'm feeling a little homesick since I'm not going back to MI for the holidays, so I'm going to try making it this weekend.
