Ingredients

60 g egg white
300 g icing sugar
300 g ground blanched almonds
15 ml spirits (kirsch, william,...)
2 drops bitter almond extract (or 2 crushed apricot kernels)

Step-by-step directions

1- beat the egg whites to stiff peaks with a pinch of salt and fold in the powdered sugar several times. gently fold in the almond powder, then the spirits and bitter almond extract.

2- make regular balls of approximately 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.

5- preheat the oven to 150°c, convection heat (fan-forced, important for the result). place the tray in the lower third and bake for 25 minutes.
