- 10.5 oz (300 g) ground blanched almonds
- 0.5 fl oz (15 ml) spirits (kirsch, william,...)
- 2 drops bitter almond extract (or 2 crushed apricot kernels)
Step-by-step directions

2 make regular balls of approximately 1.6 oz (45 g) (14-15 balls).
3 roll the balls in icing sugar, place them on a tray with parchment paper. immediately flatten the balls with the back of a clean and dry tablespoon.
4 let "crust" for 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature.
