Almond Bites

Soft, marzipan-like almond biscuits from four ingredients.

Cook 11–15 min · 180 °C fan

You'll need

  • 350 g ground almonds
  • 175 g icing sugar, plus extra for dusting
  • 2 eggs
  • lemon juice, a few drops

Equipment

  • baking tray
  • baking parchment
  • wire rack

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (fan). Line a baking tray with parchment.
  2. Mix the ingredients together to form a slightly sticky dough.
  3. Dust your hands with icing sugar and roll a walnut-sized ball between your palms. Put it on the tray and make an indentation in the centre. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
  4. Bake for 11–12 minutes for soft, marzipan-like biscuits, or 14–15 minutes for firmer, chewier ones. About 13 minutes is our usual.
  5. Cool on a wire rack.
