Cream together softened butter, sugar, extract, and rum
Mix together almond flour, salt, zest
Add flour mixture and eggs, whip until fluffy. Set aside.
Roll out the pastry to a rectangle large enough to cut 2 - 9 inch rounds.
Cut rounds. Eggwash around the edge of each.
Place frangipane in center of one round.
Top with second round with egg washed edges touching.
Place on parchment lined sheet pan
Egg wash the top of the round.
Crimp edges of round. Press a finger down on the edge while pushing the back edge of a paring knife toward the center of the round.
With a sharp paring knife, score the top of the round. I draw three lines and then put a herring bone pattern between them. You are not cutting completely through the dough, only about halfway.
Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 30 minutes.
