This large, round pastry, filled with a light lemony almond paste, is similar to pastries found in France and Switzerland. Cut in thin wedges to serve.


   FILLING
   1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
   1 (7-ounce) tube almond paste, broken into small pieces
   2 eggs
   5 teaspoons all-purpose flour
   1 to 2 packages grated lemon peel
   
   CRUST
   1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie crust
   1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
   1 egg, beaten
   1 tablespoon milk
   2 tablespoons sugar


In small bowl or food processor bowl with metal blade, combine butter and almond paste; beat or process until smooth. Add 2 eggs; mix well By hand, stir in 5 teaspoons flour and lemon peel until just blended. Cover; place in freezer for 20 to 30 minutes or until mixture is thick.

Allow both crust pouches to stand at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. Heat oven to 400°F. Remove 1 crust from pouch; unfold. Press out fold lines; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon flour. Place floured side down on ungreased 12-inch pizza pan or cookie sheet. Spread cold filling over crust to within 2 inches of edge. Brush edge with beaten egg. Refrigerate while preparing top crust.

Remove remaining crust from pouch; unfold. Press out fold lines; cut 1-inch circle from center of crust. Using very sharp knife, and curving motions, decoratively score crust in pinwheel design. (Do not cut through crust or filling will leak out.) Carefully place over filled bottom crust. Press edges to seal; flute. In small bowl, combine remaining beaten egg and milk. Brush over pastry; sprinkle with sugar.

Bake at 400°F. for 22 to 27 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
