Almond Biscuits - Αμυγδαλωτά
Ingredients 250g almond meal
180g caster sugar
3 egg whites
100g flaked almonds
zest of one lemon
Method
Heat oven to 170C.
In a clean dry bowl, whisk TWO of the egg whites until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl mix the almond meal, sugar and lemon zest until combined and then add the whisked egg whites. Using your hands mix until a dough is formed (it will be a bit sticky). Roll the dough into small balls the size of walnuts (or a bit smaller).
To finish biscuits, line a baking tray with baking paper. Take 2 clean small bowls and in one add the remaining egg white (as is, not whisked) and in the other add the flaked almonds. Taking one biscuit ball at a time, dip it in the egg white and then coat with flaked almonds. Place on the tray and repeat for remaining biscuits. Leave a 2cm gap between biscuits as they will spread when they cook.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until just golden. Remove from oven and let cool before eating.
