5. Slowly whisk in the granulated sugar, whisking until smooth.
6. Add the almond powder, flour, eggs, salt, and raspberry eau-de-vie, whisking until creamy and well blended, 1 to 2 minutes.
7. The cream will thicken slightly but will still be quite spreadable.
8. Remove from the heat and set aside.
9. In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with a whisk, whisk the cream at moderate speed until soft peaks form.
10. Gradually increase to high speedgradually adding the confectioner's sugar, vanilla extract, and the thymeuntil stiff peaks form.

15. Very lightly butter the dough and dust with confectioner's sugar.
16. Cover with a second sheet of dough.
17. Very lightly butter it and sprinkle with sugar.
18. Delicately spread all of the almond cream over the center of the second sheet of dough.
19. Do not spread the almond cream all the way to the edges, or it will ooze out in baking.

21. Cover with a fourth sheet of dough, lightly buttering and dusting with sugar.
