1.Process flour, icing sugar and butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the water gradually, if required, processing until mixture just comes together. Knead dough lightly, wrap in plastic, refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
2.Meanwhile, to make almond filling, beat butter, sugar and egg in a small bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Stir in flour and almonds.
