  PREHEAT OVEN TO 325F. Mix all ingredients but the
  almonds and candied fruit peel together. Add milk
  until it makes a stiff paste that can be rolled out.
  Roll into sheets and then press blanched almonds and
  chopped candied peel on top, if you desire. Cut into
  rectangles roughly 2-by-4-inches and transfer to a
  greased cooking sheet. Bake until light brown.
