Amaretti

Ingredients:
  • 300g/11oz blanched almonds
  • 300g/11oz caster sugar
  • 5 egg whites

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 350°F/Gas mark

• Put the almonds in a mortar, and add 100g/4oz of the sugar little by little, pounding constantly with the pestle.

• Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold in the remaining sugar, and add the almonds.

• Cut ribbons of greaseproof paper 5cm/2in wide, and put on a baking tray. Spoon teaspoonfuls of the mixture on, about 2cm/3⁄4in apart. Sprinkle with sugar and bake for 20 minutes.

• Allow to cool slightly, then lift off the greaseproof paper and cool on a wire rack. Serve with espresso coffee at the end of a meal.
