  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave in a glass bowl. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Using a stand mixer, a handheld electric mixer or a whisk, beat the eggs and butter together in a bowl. You can use the same bowl if you microwaved the butter.
  • Add flour, sugar and almond extract and mix well.
