INGREDIENTS:
250g ground almonds
200 caster sugar
15g honey
2 egg whites
1tsp almond extract
1/2 vanilla pod
Icing sugar

METHOD:
Place your ground almonds, caster sugar, almond extract and honey in a bowl and mix using your hand so the ingredients get to know each other.

Ina separate bowls whisk together 2 egg whites and seeds from your vanilla pod. Add half of it into your almond and sugar mixture and knead by hand until you reach a dough like consistency. If it's too hard add more egg white and continue kneading. You want your dough to be soft but not too sticky.

Using your hands compact the dough and shape into a ball. Place back in the bowl, cover with cling foil and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180C (gas mark 4) and line a tray with baking paper.

Place your chilled dough on a work surface generously dusted with icing sugar. Cut the dough in half, sprinkle each half with more icing sugar and roll into 40cm long pieces.

Cut the dough into pieces weighing approximately 20-25g, then roll them into balls and flatten slightly. Make sure to thoroughly coat each ball in icing sugar.

Place your uncooked biscuits on the previously lined baking tray and stick them in the oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes. All ovens vary so keep an eye on your biscuits, they should remain white with only the cracks in the icing sugar being slightly browned.

Once ready take your paste di mandorla out of the oven and them cool completely before indulging in this deliciously sweet and chewy treat!
