Ingredients

175 g ground almonds
125 g caster sugar
1 pinch(es) salt
1 tsp almond extract
1 large egg, white only
flaked almonds to decorate, optional
icing sugar, for decoration

Instructions

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 3, 170°C, 325°F. Line a baking tray with rice paper or baking parchment.

Place almonds, sugar and salt in a food processor and blend until very finely ground. Add almond extract.

Whisk egg white until foamy and add to food processor and pulse to a thick paste.

Moisten your hands and form into small balls, and place on baking sheet. Allow at least an inch, 2.5-3cm spacing around as they will flatten and expand outwards. Place one or two almond flakes on top.

Bake until light golden brown, about 17-20 minutes. Cool on wire rack and dust with icing sugar. Store in an airtight container.

Options:
Replace almond extract with ground cardamom for a different taste. Use an equal weight of whole shelled pistachios, or pistachio halves (not salted) to replace the almonds and flavour with cardamom – this is a more Middle-Eastern variant.

About the recipe:
The recipe is probably Moorish in origin but now an international favourite. Soft and deliciously chewy. They may have inspired the Italians to create Amaretti biscuits, similar but harder.

Preparation time:

ca. 20 min
