I was running around Cheltenham the other day looking for these, hoping to sprinkle some crushed on the pasta. There were none in Sainsbury’s, Home Sense was closed, M&S tried hard, but no. Florek suggested Food Fanatics, our mega overpriced Winchcombe deli and sure enough, I obtained a small packet for an eye watering \u00a37 (!!!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I looked them up yesterday, thinking for \u00a37 I can get tons of ground almonds. The first recipe that appealed to me was from a blog called Charlotte’s Lively Kitchen. I baked them an hour ago and I’m amazed how good they are. And simple too! Food Fanatics will be visited again in a couple of years time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For 20 biscuits I used 2 egg whites, whipped well. In a bowl I had 190 g of ground almonds, 150 g of caster sugar, combined, some vanilla paste and to that I added the whipped whites plus a tbsp of Disaronno. Next time I’ll add more, can just about smell it, but certainly can’t taste any. I formed 20 little balls, rolled them in icing sugar first, then caster sugar and baked in 150 degrees for 17 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They really are lovely. Crunchy on the surface, soft inside. Good stuff!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
