Ingredients

  • 285 grams almonds blanched
  • 2 egg whites lightly beaten
  • 200 grams sugar, caster
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice, frozen concentrate
  • 1 egg white lightly beaten
  • 40 grams pine nuts toasted

Directions

1. Add almonds to 2 beaten egg whites and stir. With a slotted spoon, remove almonds to a blender or food processor and blend to a smooth paste. Transfer to a bowl and stir in sugar and orange juice concentrate. Shape dough into walnut-sized balls. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet 1 inch apart and flatten to a 1/4 inch thickness with the bottom of a glass. Brush tops with beaten egg white and stud with pine nuts in an attractive design. Allow to stand at room temperature for 2 hours.
2. Bake in a preheated 400*F/200*C/GM 6 oven for 5-8 minutes or until just beginning to brown around the edges. Cool completely on a rack.
