Skip to ingredients
Units:
- 150g blanched, whole almonds(buy toasted or toast your own)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 285g plain flour
- 150g granulated white sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
Method
step 1
To toast almonds if needed: Heat oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 and lay on a baking tray and bake until lightly browned (around 10 mins).
step 2
Turn oven down to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 2.
step 3
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
step 4
Beat the eggs, vanilla extract and almond extract in a separate bowl and add half the egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir in the almonds and then add remaining egg mixture.
step 5
As the mixture starts to form a dough, use well-floured hands to mould into a ball. It's quite sticky!
step 6
Mould dough into two logs with your hands about 20cm long by 3cm wide (approx) and lay on a baking tray covered with parchment. Leave some spreading room between the two logs.
step 7
Bake for 40 mins until firm. Remove from oven and cool for 10-15 mins.
step 8
Cut each log into slices of about 1.5 - 2cm on the diagonal and lay each slice on its side on the baking tray.
step 9
Bake for another 10 mins and then turn and bake the other side for 10 mins.
step 10
Remove from the oven and cool.
step 11
Store in an air-tight container.
