Ingredients
- 200g ground almonds
- 200g caster sugar
- 2 medium egg whites
- a few drops of almond extract
Step by step
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Combine the ground almonds, caster sugar, egg whites and almond extract in a bowl and knead to a pliable dough. With damp hands, shape into 20 balls and space out on a large lined baking tray. Press down to 1cm thick using a fork dipped in water. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the edges are golden; cool on the tray. Best eaten freshly baked, but can be frozen.
