40 Mins
  • 200g blanched almonds

STEP 2

Put the almonds on a baking tray and bake on the top shelf of the oven for 5 minutes. Remove and leave to cool.

Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Whisk in the caster sugar, a little at a time, until the mix thickens.

Reserve an almond for each, then blitz the rest in your blender to a medium coarse powder. Fold the almonds and rice flour into the egg whites, then fold in the almond extract. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.

STEP 5

Spoon the mixture onto baking sheets lined with non-stick baking paper. Put an almond on each. Bake on the top shelf of the oven for 12 minutes. Take out and leave to cool.
